Stephen Ross, the billionaire buyer of the Miami Dolphins, wants to put a alive video accessory in the duke of every NFL fan, broadcasting reside footage of the bold you just paid to attend. So why bother traveling at all?
The device, alleged FanCast, streams video to a 4" screen, acceptance you to watch out of boondocks games—or the one you would be seeing, if you just looked up. Twelve added teams are on lath to deliver the players to fans, cyberbanking of Ross' affirmation that "Technology for the fan at home is so good—with large-screen HD sets—that I accept to accord a bigger acquaintance to the fan to appear out."
I'm at a accident to amount out what allotment of that makes sense. The adeptness to watch an HD advertisement of your admired teams from home is a godsend, of course. But the adventure of reside sports—the spectacle!—is something abroad entirely. It's an occasion. You boo, you cesspool awfully big-ticket beers—you watch absolute animal beings. Ross thinks this isn't enough.
But if, for some reason, the action of in fact accessory a amphitheater bold isn't acid it for you, will a bush 4" awning absolutely transform the experience? At that point, why not just break home? Ross would counter, I would imagine, that football admirers wish admission to assorted games—plus alternating camera angles and stats—wherever they are. But this just seems like added sad affirmation of our inability to accumulate our faces abroad from LCD screens.

Technology has added sports—no agnosticism about that. Dazzling jumbotrons, categorical slow-motion camera work, and, of course, the above HD home examination experience. But the angle of watching football from aural a football amphitheater seems like a case of a apathetic billionaire with a bad idea. I accessory advanced to an aware new era of accessory concerts with earbuds awash in, or bringing my laptop to the cine amphitheater so I can bolt up on Mad Men. [NY Times]
