The camera angle for the Boise NCAA tournament games is so bad they might change it

It’s high up there.

No, it’s not just you. The camera angle for the NCAA tournament games in Boise is really far out there.

Check this out:

Don’t blame TNT. It’s just the stock camera angle at Taco Bell arena. Check out some Boise State basketball highlights from when they play home games there.

And this picture shows one of the camera wells on the corner of the court.

The real issue came when the camera got zoomed in. Because of the size of the chyron used for all March Madness games, it made it look like half the court was cut off.

CBS released a statement late Thursday indicating they might change things for Saturday’s two games in Boise:

Other famed arenas have slightly wonky camera angles, like Indiana’s Assembly Hall ...

.... or Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium.

And Final Fours (which are held in football domes) are notorious for their bad camera angles.

But Boise’s Taco Bell Center really takes the cake with the zoom. Hey, at least we know what it’s like to be in the cheap seats in Boise.
