The National Football League, along with two partners, has announced that it will show a game in 3D for the first time ever earlier next month. The broadcast, which will be held in movie theaters in three cities Dec. 4, will be used as a test to see if the technology could be used more widely in the future.
The League is conducting the project along with partners 3ality Digital and RealD, and the cities receiving the screening will be Boston, New York, and Hollywood. The game, between the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders, doubles as that week’s NFL Network Thursday night telecast.
In March, the National Basketball Association conducted a similar event, in Dallas in which a game between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers was shown in “3D HD” at a Magnolia Theater in the Dallas area. That screening was conducted with the help of Fox Sports Net Southwest and the 3D production firm PACE.
