Football is the perfect sport for TV, and NFL broadcasts have gotten so good that Commissioner Roger Goodell now openly frets that stadium attendance is in trouble because everybody wants to watch the game at home. Credit HDTV. CBS broadcast the first high-definition NFL game back in 1998, a New York-only test of the technology. By 2004 networks broadcast more than 70 percent of games in HD. By 2008 virtually all NFL games were available in HD, and networks continue to increase camera abilities, using either 1080i (slower frame rate, higher resolution) or 720p technology (faster frame rate, lower resolution) to wow in-home viewers.
Things might get even sharper. The new ESPN and NFL deal, which starts in 2014, includes the rights for 3D broadcasts. And Fox Sports already uses a single 4K HD camera in an NFL broadcast each week to help with slow-motion instant replay. While both technologies may take years to enter the mainstream, they could do what HD did before them: make what we know about watching NFL broadcasts seem awfully blurry.
