CBS, which is in command of broadcasting this yr’s massive recreation, basically offers viewers a front-row seat ought to their favourite group nail one of many uprights in the course of the season’s most-watched recreation.
Among the many 165 cameras attempting to seize each angle of the sport vertically and horizontally, six cameras will likely be embedded contained in the goalposts themselves, three per finish.
