(Bloomberg Opinion) -- A professional football game is going to take four hours, of which only 28 minutes is actual play. That leaves a lot of room for turning the game into a fuller interactive and entertainment experience.
That was the charge of Al Guido, this week's guest on Masters in Business, who was served as the San Francisco 49ers chief operating officer from 2014 to 2016.
