Handheld NFL

Dolphins fans, fresh with new enthusiasm for their team after its upset win over the Chicago Bears Sunday, will have another opportunity next Sunday to try out the handheld Kangaroo TVs that are being tested at Dolphin Stadium this season.

ktvnew.jpgThe device, which can be rented for $39.99 per game or $119 for the remainder of the season, broadcasts DirecTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket allowing fans to watch the local Dolphins broadcast and any other NFL game being broadcast at that time. That means fans can also watch replays of the Dolphins game, which are sorely lacking on the stadium's giant scoreboards.

There are also scores and stats for fantasy players and a scoreboard that even shows when games are in the red zone, so fans can flip to them quickly to see if one team will score. Scores highlighted in green mean a team has just scored.

The technology was pioneered in auto racing, allowing motorsports fans to watch races and listen to conversations between drivers and their crew chiefs. The NFL version is being tested with the Dolphins and the Washington Redskins this season.

The devices can be rented at Gate H or section 131 at Dolphin Stadium or online at www.kangaroo.tv
