With the teams finally set (sorry Texas) Fox Sports' 3D broadcast is being beamed live not only to CES, but also to theaters in 35 states. Courtesy of the same Cinedigm satellite network playing host to the 3D NBA All-Star Game in February, 80 RealD-outfitted theaters are airing the game while In Las Vegas, Paris Hotel and Casino will be set up with Sony 4K SXRD projectors showing 3ality Digital's 3D production in all its glory. Even with DeMarco Murray pulling out due to injury, a national championship game featuring the last two Heisman Trophy winning QBs seems worth catching in the best quality available -- outside of actually heading down to Dolphin Stadium and staring at the big screen. Check out the Cinedigm website for a list of theaters, tickets are expected to be between $18 - $22.
OU vs. Florida. The only theater in Oklahoma showing the BCS game is in Stillwater. Sacrilege!!!
Same here, Illinois doesn't have a single screen showing it in Chicago. The closest is about an hour plus south, and it puzzles me because Chicago has Many RealD screens.

i dont kno if u understand y its a big deal that stillwater has the only theater in oklahoma showing this. As it happens oklahoma state university (OU's in state rival) is located there.
Sweet! They have 6 theaters in NC, 1 in Raleigh, and it just so happens to be about 3 miles from my house. I'll be there for sure!
BOOMER SOONER!!!!
We just watched the 3D HD game in a theater and as far as I could tell all 80+ people there were disappointed. It had so much potential but was very poorly executed. Where was the game clock? Everyone was asking how much time was left every few minutes. Why were we watching the coach on the sideline while there was a play happening on the field? We never once saw an OU cheerleader while we saw the Gator cheerleaders every time there was a break in the action? When the offense has the ball why in the world would you give us a field level view right behind the defense so we can't see a damn thing that just happened? Nobody knew if we fumbled, got tackled or ran past the camera guy. Absolutely horrible decisions on what camera to cut to. It seemed like we were watching an amateur camera crew. Why the hell did we have to look at the water and city skyline during halftime? You guys didn't just figure out you were going to do a 3D game last week. You had plenty of time to figure something out for halftime or just let us watch the show that was provided at the stadium. If it was experimental and needed more work to look professional, then don't charge so damn much for the tickets to watch it. We definitely did not get our money's worth. We only paid $16 a piece for our tickets but I really feel sorry for the others that paid $25 for theirs. Great idea but it needs a lot of work to get anyone to pay to watch it again.
