Yes, you heard it correctly. at the end of the 2008 regular season the NFL experimented with theater hosted High-Definition three dimensional live football games. They did this in an effort to push this technology into homes over the next few years. It supposedly puts the viewer in the middle of the game and early reports indicated that the viewings were a success!

The technology that has to go into this is vast and is very interesting in it’s own right but it will be interesting to see if the fans of football embrace this on a large scale or will they reject it. With the cost that the NFL has to be investing in million dollar set ups it might behoove them to come up with a consistent instant replay system and fix some of the issues that prevents the game from running smoothly.
