The brand-new Masters TV Compound at Augusta National is a site to behold. No dumpsters or port-a-johns in sight, and used but just once a year, it puts every TV compound & sports venue in the country to shame.

A thread ⬇️
The compound itself can hold 50+ TV trucks, with tons of space to spare. It is FLAT which makes park & power a breeze. There are 7 interconnect pedestals scattered throughout #, each one holding 1600A of power, hundreds of strands of fiber, DSS drops, dirty internet & more.
The Global Broadcast Village is a massive building next to the compound. It houses offices, editing rooms, green rooms, restrooms, crafty & even a small museum, for CBS & ESPN. The tree out front is supposedly 80+ years old & was transplanted there.
All fiber in the Golf course, TV compound & Global Broadcast Village lands at the Interconnect Building, a huge structure in the middle of the compound. It also houses Transmission, and a massive video router that distributes feeds to all trucks in the Compound.
