A media processing unit may identify, automatically based on game play data relating to game events of a sporting event and a set of source selection rules, different media portions from different media sources to include in the media coverage of a particular sporting event. Each of the different media sources may be configured to deliver different media related to the sporting event. The media processing unit determines a plurality of media mappings, which each associate a media portions with a game portions. Based on the determined media mappings, for each game portion, a media processing unit may select a media portion delivery to a user as media coverage of the game portion.

Providing game and facility information to in-stadium spectators

Amenity service point data is stored, where the amenity service point data specifies, for a plurality of amenities in a venue, a respective plurality of different geographic points at which the amenities are located within the venue. Locations of a plurality of mobile computing devices that are within the venue are determined. For each particular amenity among the plurality of amenities, a crowdedness level of the particular amenity is determined based in part on the locations of the plurality of mobile computing devices relative to the geographic point corresponding to the particular amenity. A request to view information relating to a certain amenity is received. Particular information relating to the certain amenity, where the information includes an indication of the crowdedness level of the certain amenity is caused to display. The crowdedness level of the certain amenity is periodically re-determined during duration of an event at the venue.
