Rangers/Islanders Game In 3D

via Richard Sandomir of the New York Times,

MSG Network will show next Wednesday’s Islanders-Rangers game in 3D, the first time a hockey game has been carried in the technology, the network said. It will be available to Cablevision subscribers and offered to other providers.

The game will also be shown on a screen at the Theater at Madison Square Garden.

For the game, five 3D cameras will be set up on platforms lower down in the arena than for high-definition broadcasts. “You produce 3D games differently,” said Mike Bair, the president of MSG Media. “And you have to hold shots longer and not cut as quickly.” Kenny Albert and Dave Maloney, the Rangers’ radio team, will shift to the 3D broadcast.

Televised? that’s a gimmick. I still listen to the radio for my hockey games.

this is very cool.  I like that a lot of movies are finally doing the 3D thing…and am surprised it took so long since the technology has been available for a long time.

sports in 3D should be a blast, once the broadcasters get good at it.  it can’t be an easy adjustment for anyone from the cameramen, to the truck, to the replay booth, etc. but it’s great to see them giving it a shot.

if it goes well, I would love to see this from NBC in the playoffs.
