SportsCenter on the road

In its quest to bring fans to sportsâ€™ biggest events, SportsCenter has hit the road frequently in recent weeks, originating from the World Series, NBA season openers and major college football and basketball games. In this slide show, Front Row captures some of the electric scenes and provides observations from the anchors who road-tripped with SportsCenter. Expect to see SportsCenter on the road again for the College Football Playoff and other major events and games in the coming months. 1. Mississippi (Oct. 4) 2.

Wisconsin (Dec. 3) "I feel the most impactful series SportsCenter has done was the â€˜50 States in 50 Daysâ€™ series. This (broadcasting from Wisconsin) and future on-site SportsCenters have the potential for that. ESPN has passionate, loyal customers. We owe it to them to occasionally press the flesh and stump for their cities and towns" â€“ John Buccigross, SportsCenter anchor â€œI was blown away at the atmosphere in Madison, the passion their fans had for SportsCenter being on location from the Kohl Center, and the cohesion our team showed in a 'road game.' What people see is what we broadcast. What they donâ€™t see is the enormous number of moving pieces that need to perfectly coordinate to put a broadcast like SportsCenter on the air. Itâ€™s an awesome thing to be a part of and I canâ€™t wait for the next experience! Among the highlights of the night was our conversation with Heisman Trophy candidate Melvin Gordon, golf analyst and Badgers fan Andy North, Duke freshman (and star of the game) Tyus Jones and Bucci & my half-court shot attempts (that were inches from greatness!)â€ â€“ Kevin Connors, SportsCenter anchor
