Question Video Feed of Matches

Like a lot of teams, we set up a digital video camera up in the stands at our regional and film matches. Either for scouting or for archiving our team's robot in action. It is of a lower quality due to fans in the stands and a lot of background noise.

What kind of logistics would it take for event organizers to provide a bank of video feed outputs so that teams could tape directly from the professional film crew? Most years, the Lone Star Regional has a NASA webcast and the last two seasons, G4 Tech TV has hosted and possibly simulcast the event. (One of my 7th grade students reported seeing us on TV this last weekend.)

This might be a bit less insane at a regional with 40 teams wanting to tap into the feed but 80 per division at the Championships and then all 340 for the finals....


Can somebody with know how give me a clue to how realistic this type of option would be
