remotegrandstand
/ˌrɪməʊtˈɡrænstænd/nounVerified NewThe livestream viewing by which distant relatives watch a child's games.
Grandparents two time zones away now hold season tickets to a phone camera perched on a fence, complete with wind noise and a thumbs-over-lens intermission. The stream is technically terrible and watched religiously, which is the point.
Etym. — remote + grandstand: a grandstand accessed remotely, and a pun the phenomenon earns twice over.
