It is also part of Wiki Project Sport being rated as a Start-Class on the quality scale and has yet to receive a rating on the importance scale. The talk page discusses organizing the information to make it easier to read and navigate and also mentions that it reads more as a sales pitch. This article can be improved by changing the tone/ style used along with adding more information about the data SportVU collects and possible images that are accepted by wikipedia so the reader can visualize what data is collected..
