They've completely turned the tide of football in the city, currently sitting at 11-2 atop the NFL , and are on the verge of another dominant victory over the New York Jets. And it’s why the Chargers have a total of three-and-a-half fans in their new city. “To then double our video board size and add four new boards at the top of the stadium, which provide stats and information, has added so much more excitement. — Okay Boomer (@Okay__Boomer) December 13, 2019, — Jimmy's Famous Seafood (@JimmysSeafood) December 13, 2019, — Lamarvelous Jackson (@Imf187) December 13, 2019, — Rex Chapman (@RexChapman) December 13, 2019, — Perfect Rotation (@PerfectRotation) December 13, 2019. Having created the ‘wow’ factor, it came as little surprise to Jay O’Brien, vice-president of broadcasting and gameday entertainment at the Ravens, that the feature gained traction via social media. Or, in terms I’m more familiar with, it’s like a really wild mushroom trip. “We need to keep up, and that’s where these stadium improvements come from. “We have a game entertainment committee which encompasses leaders from every department within the organisation, including our team president, and we huddle up throughout the season before each game and in the off-season. “What works in a certain market may not work for us, but there’s always something to learn. “What we weren’t sure of was the in-stadium fan experience and how they would experience the technology,” O’Brien tells us. Looking to the future, O’Brien says: “For us, the challenge is where do we go from here? The 42-21 Thursday Night Football victory over the New York Jets on December 12 debuted a ‘mixed-reality’ innovation as the Ravens wrapped up the AFC North title.

Several mixed reality sports initiatives have hit the headlines of late, including the decision of Argentine Superliga football club Estudiantes to unveil a huge holographic lion as part of celebrations for its return to its renovated Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi home ground in November. Why does it look so lifelike? For us, we always ask: is this going to entertain or inform our fans in some way? The new feature allowed fans at the game to view animations of a giant raven within the stadium in real time when they looked at the jumbotron and in-stadium TVs. It can be something as simple as a song that really works and brings energy to the fans. Inspired by the performances of mercurial quarterback Lamar Jackson, fans of the high-flying Baltimore Ravens have learnt to expect the unexpected this season. The project also introduced two 200-feet-by-36-feet video displays behind each end zone, 28,000 square feet of video ribbon displays, four video boards in each corner of M&T Bank Stadium, a field-level party suite and enhanced WiFi. “The challenge for sports teams and leagues is that the entertainment marketplace is more competitive than it’s ever been.
Is anything real? But during the Ravens 42-21 win over the Jets on Thursday Night Football, the Ravens organization unveiled a wrinkle that objectively was equally as enjoyable as watching your star QB break Michael Vick’s single-season rushing yards record. pic.twitter.com/26SzvWIOEx, — Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) December 13, 2019. But even they were surprised by a new fan experience venture rolled out by the NFL franchise at M&T Bank Stadium last month. “We deliver more replays than game broadcasts, and all the executions during commercial breaks are things we work hard on.”.

“We had different motions that the raven could make throughout the stadium, so we ended up revealing the bird nine times during the game.”. We debuted a new mixed-reality feature tonight as part of the gameday fan experience.
