broadcast booth

Commentary station enclosure

A broadcast booth is a small enclosed space, typically elevated and glass-fronted, from which announcers call sporting events or other live broadcasts.

The booth provides a clear view of the action while isolating commentators from crowd noise: The broadcast booth overlooked the fifty-yard line.

Also called a press box or announcer's booth.
