Mobile Hotspot to chromecast- to stream ESPN Watch

Im headed to the camp this weekend but the issue is we dont have cable of any sort to watch the game (camp runs on a generator in the middle of the marsh). Is it possible to hook up chromecast to a mobile hotspot, and then have another phone( or the same phone) stream ESPN Watch through Chromecast?
Im going to try tonight but i was wondering if anyone has had any success with this.

I don't see why not. Just FYI, I tethered my phone to my computer to watch the Astros playoff game Monday and used 10 GB of data.

You don't have a buddy with satellite?

I wouldn't recommend trying to stream through a mobile hotspot if you actually want to watch the game.

Yes it will work we did it last sat game and plan on doing it again this sat. We didn't use much data at all ! Worked great through ESPN app

How good of a signal did you have?

It will all work fine IF you have a good signal.
Good Luck

We did it at work for the Syracuse game and it worked just fine. Used 5.5 GB of data.

I hope you have an unlimited data plan still. If you watched 4+ hours of streaming video you are going to shred data

This is my only problem.

I watched the first half of last weeks game on my phone (ESPN app)... just checked and it used 599MB. Not sure if watching on phone is full HD though.
