No one knows how to fix track and field

It would help if the top performers did not actively dodge one another all season long.

The NFL had a brief blip of ratings drops.

Look at the cost...

The only way to fix Track and field is to replace the retarded illogical 3.75 lap race known as the 1500M with the more popular, better, well known mile

So instead of a 3.75 lap race, they should run a 4.0255 lap race?

funny nike hype lies each each yest they sell only a few thousand seats to that high school meeting

Just watch some reality TV if that's the kind of nonsense you're interested in. I already avoid reality TV because of all the annoying fake drama and attention seeking narcissists.

doped to the gills Africans ruin it (T&F) for me!....plus watching a 10000 - meter race in which all the runners are Africans!.....it su#ks!

it is really entertaining . Cross country on the other hand , the positions are decided 1 mile into a 10k race

No reason track doesn't have the viewership and money of golf or tennis. It will never have team sport appeal but it is more fun to watch than either of those

I think field events can be interesting. Show just the finals have athletes do their attempts within 30 seconds instead of a minute. It could be done in 20 minutes with commercials.

Have coaches provide insights. Use the first down marker for the throws and jumps where their best or the leaders mark is. Show their jumps totals like 26 feet or averages like they do in baseball when they come up to bat. Visuals help. Explain the technical points.

Lewis and Powell in the 1991 world championships was very exciting.

With the exception of MLS, pretty much any major sport started with local clubs competing against one another. Those local clubs eventually banded together and formed leagues, turning into the Premier Leagues and MLBs of today.

Thinking of leagues that attempt to start from the top and not the local level, they don't seem to succeed. Prime examples would be MLS, the WNBA, or the various attempts at a spring football league. Grand Slam Track looks to be skipping the line, without forming those genuine relationships that residents have with the teams/athletes from their area.

Can't fix it. It will always be boring to people. Ppl are more entertained seeing big men running into each other headfirst and looking between their legs to catch a big leather egg and wearing silly costumes while they cheer and get drunk in silly costumes

what's your definition of "fix" it is what it is. track and field will never change. not enough interest. things like the grand slam track series will not survive like the others before it. learn to enjoy it as it is.

NBC Burbank rescued the 2024 Olympic Trials at the last second by brigning in Snoop Dogg and Terry Crews from L.A. for $20 Millions a pop.

Are we trying to fix track and field globally or just in the US?

Some very US orientated answers here when there is a huge world out there of viewers for track and field to attract

you'd rather watch obese "athletes" throw a cannonball than super fit Athletes get upside down 20 feet in the air with a flexi stick??

Fixing it for people that wont attend ruins it for those who do.

Wanna fix it? Get your a$$ to the meets and enjoy it as it should be rather than yearn for some fantasy, altered version of reality that you would just surf channels on anyway.

Poser fans complain constantly. You dont even understand what you are looking at.
