Responce to "Why are sports with tons of time for advertising the most popular in America?" by John Arena

The most popular sports can be mot profitable and more or less "can" have that much advertising. What I mean is the viewers want to see the sport and if it takes watching advertisements, well most wouldn't mind. As long as here is money to be made there will be advertisements. 

One image comes to mind from the movie Idiocracy.




Could advertising ever get this bad?

Field of Dreams: Ballpark upgrades

http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/innovation/03/31/ballparks.unveil.tech.updates.wired/index.html

The article gives quick descriptions of ballpark upgrades but what I would like to focus on is the ten year $285,000,000,000 renovation of 99 year old Fenway Park.

Notice how many new advertisements there are and how much larger they are from 2001 to 2011.

Do you feel this is going to continue going into the future?
