Is there someone in the stadium watching the game and updating it super fast? I’ll often get alerts before it happens on TV. They have so much information on each play and I want to know how they get it all.

It’s pretty much just people being paid to watch the game and record everything that happens.
Sports statistics are pretty big business. Companies that do this sell their data to TV networks, oddsmakers and even the teams themselves, each with their own uses for the data. Networks like having statistics and odd facts about particular matches, sportsbooks use them to set odds for upcoming matches and teams analyze the data of their players and teams performance and those of other teams to get whatever competitive advantage they can.
