The video shows a realistic view of the future of tournament poker.

The general population will go to Wembley to watch donkaments. Phils Hellmuth will be the new Beckham and soccer will be long forgotten.

It appears that people are playing online poker from their seats? 70000 players with a live final table in middle of stadium...... Video so vague.

Maybe live main event in the middle and lots of online side events that you can play from the seats?

Renting a stadium for a poker tournament is interesting just because you can advertise that you don't need multiple day 1s/2s and can easily run side events. And cooler than a conference room at some Radisson. I like.
