Satellite operator DirecTV says it will expand the use of wireless handsets from Montreal-based sports enhancement firm Kangaroo Media to bring its NFL Sunday Ticket programming to fans at four National Football League stadiums this season. DirecTV began experimenting with the "Kangaroo TV" handsets last season in partnership with the Miami Dolphins and Washington Redskins. The audio-and-video-enabled devices, which are also used for NASCAR and Formula One auto racing, allowed fans to watch games from other markets while attending their team's game as well as access team and player statistics from NFL.com. The NFL has agreed to continue the program for another two seasons, and the "NFL Sunday Ticket In-Stadium" product will now be available at Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, and Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, in addition to Dolphin Stadium in Miami and FedEx Field in Washington. The service will be available beginning with each team’s 2007 regular season home opener, with single-game rentals running at $24.95 and full-season plans costing $149.95.http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6468285.html
