ESPN To Create A 3D Channel

I love this idea. The downside is that most people will need to upgrade their TV to even see the game. However, when they tested this out during the USC vs. Ohio State game, they showed it in several movie theaters. I'd be more than happy to hit a local theater that serves food and beer to watch the game.

Here's the details from ESPN:

Sports broadcasting will enter a new dimension in 2010 … the third dimension, as ESPN will unveil the industry's first 3-D network.

ESPN 3D will showcase a minimum of 85 live sporting events during its first year, beginning June 11 with the first 2010 FIFA World Cup match, featuring South Africa versus Mexico, ESPN and ABC Sports president George Bodenheimer announced.

Other events to be produced in 3-D include the 2011 BCS National Championship Game, college basketball and football contests, up to 25 World Cup matches and the Summer X Games. Additional events will be announced at a later date.
