We dive deep into our favorite social media platforms and strategies for creating engaging content around sports and stadium experiences.
• Instagram tops our lists for sharing visual content, with YouTube and Twitter/Meta platforms following close behind
• Managing team bias professionally while creating content at rival team venues
• Overcoming camera nervousness through a "fake it till you make it" approach
• Short-form content (under 3 minutes) typically performs better than longer videos
• Valuable equipment recommendations including the Shure MV7 microphone and smartphone lens attachments
• Using green screen effects to maximize content opportunities
• Editing ruthlessly—cutting unnecessarily long segments dramatically improves engagement
• How some of our most successful videos (1.2+ million views) required minimal planning
• Learning from other content creators can accelerate your growth
• Authentic, imperfect content often outperforms carefully crafted videos
