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.

10. I don't know about that.

The chargers are breeding their own form of suckitude. But the game overall might break world suckitude records.

14. I was at the Raider/Chiefs game on Sunday. The only thing worse

would have been watching it at home in 3D and have Janikowski try to run that stupid fake kick into my living room!:mad:

3. Now you know what ESPN is thinking tonight

Houston and JACKSONVILLE!!?!?!?

:shrug:

Who ever thought THIS was going to be worthy of prime time???

The Jags are the disappointment of the league (along with the Chargers) but if they were playing where they should be playing this game would really be a stinker.

6. well, it looked like a barnburner in the spring. choosing good late season prime time match-ups

is a roll of the dice thing.

4. Not much into football, but RealD works very well

in the movies that I've seen that use it, including the recently released Bolt.

5. THose bastards are shutting off all the Internet feeds

16. Does the NFL network have a feed?

I know that NBC does for Sunday night football. Pretty cool really you can pick the camera to watch.

17. sometimes they do

but they're shutting down channelsurfiing.com streams mid-game.
