Looks like a cool deal.  Not available here.  I also can't get DSL even though people 1000 yards down the street can.  No FIOS either.  I'm stuck with subleased cable that costs too much for my needs.  

That and I really, really like Sunday Ticket.   ;D

I completely disagree with Fordman.  I don't care much about HD but would love football in 3D.  Depending on the hardware prices it's still a better deal than $400/game in person.  Keep in mind I say that as someone who lives a 3 minute backroad drive from a major market NFL stadium.

I said the 'average' football fan! Most football fans NFL or College are average and watch at home. The die-hard fans buy the tickets to the games. The average fan goes to maybe 1 or 2 games per season. The average fan wont shell out the money for 3D equipment plus any accessories needed to view it. The average fan watches on TV at home or in a bar because they cant afford tickets, dont want to be cold (most NFL & College markets), spent their extra cash on the jersey they are wearing, dont want to pay $7.50 for a 12oz beer, doesnt want to listen to wife complain she's cold the whole game, and so on and so on.....

3D will only be a niche market! Unless your just being coy by diagreeing to be 'disagreeing'?  ;)

The average fan acts differently depending on location.  You're in Detroit, right?   Not exactly the same motivation for a fanbase as most other NFL cities.

People here throw parties for games.  They go all out.  Tickets are scarce even for the hardcore fans if they aren't season ticket holders.  The season ticket waiting list is a decade long.  People here actually might group up and shell out a bunch of cash to watch games in 3D.  I guarantee if the hardware came down anywhere near the cost of a 60" plasma there would be a lot of "average fans" here who would buy them to watch the Patriots.  I know people who tailgate in the Gillette parking lots even without tickets - that's sitting in stadium traffic and paying $40 to park just to be part of the party.

I'm a bit suprised that a sports network is attempting this first...
I guess I sorta expected a... well... er...  'Bow chica bow bow'  or something...

Probably costs waaaaaaaaaay too much to produce for that genre.
