Team officials have also formed a successful partnership with WEGR-FM Rock 103, which will provide live radio broadcasts of games and has been a key advertising and marketing sponsor. The car audio and alarm store is among the several companies participating in the partner program. And if it doesn't go, we're really not out that much money. And that's what this is all about. Not only will some of the rules of the game be different, but the Memphis Maniax promise a new way of looking at football when the team hosts its first home game against the Las Vegas Outlaws at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium Feb. 11, the first of five home games at the Liberty Bowl.
Fans can hear the quarterback calling signals.
Following the XFL mantra to heighten the fan experience, the game announcers' booth at the Liberty Bowl will be constructed in the stands so broadcasters can interact with fans. In addition to two sideline reporters, a roving reporter will make rounds and solicit input from fans throughout the game. Ehrhart says NBC has deployed all of its latest broadcasting technology to put fans on the field. A sky cam used in NBC's coverage of the Olympics will be mounted on wires and provide on-field images, even zoom shots inside the huddle. Expect a lot of fireworks at Memphis' home opener, and everyone who purchases a ticket will receive a free game program and seat cushion.
