This was not an issue in 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2011, which all had games where you could get a very good approximation of the score just by glancing at the field. That combined with some real time scoring for display purposes only, made all four of those games incredibly spectator friendly. To me, this type of setup is something we should be striving for.
