Watching Sports in 3D HD?

Recent news circulating the sports marketplace has FSN Southwest scheduled to show the March 25th Dallas Maverics vs. Los Angeles Clippers game in 3D HD. The live 3D HD feed will be shown at the Landmark Theatres, a venue owned by Mark Cuban.

FSN's select 3D HD telecast will mark just the third time that this has ever occured. The NBA originated the idea in 2007 with an invite only event in Las Vegas for the All-Star game and the Cleveland Cavaliers hosted a 3D HD event for Game 2 of the NBA Finals, attracting 14,000 fans. To view the action, fans wear special goggles that enables them to see the 3D content and high definition picture. Reviews from those attending the 3D HD events have been astounding thus far (as the technology makes one feel like they are sitting courtside)
