Any of you have experience with this?
Any big assignment I get, I get it taped. I find someone to tape it for me, and I have a video camera for them to use.

I approach the admissions people about 2 hours before game time and tell them a person named __________ will be coming to the game. They are there to videotape officials and are part of the officiating crew. I have never had a problem. My help never pays and they're often allowed extra leaway when it comes to where he may go.
