Talalay: Dolphins Renew with Kangaroo TV
The Dolphins and Kangaroo TV are teaming up again to bring Dolphins fans a chance to watch DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket during home games this season.
The handheld TVs are programmed to broadcast Sunday Ticket, including the Dolphins game so fans can catch replays that are not broadcast on Dolphin Stadium's giant scoreboards. The device was available as part of a pilot program at Dolphin Stadium and the Washington Redskins' FedEx Field last season. This year, the Seattle Seahawks and Houston Texans have been added.
And the price has dropped nearly 38 percent this year from $39.99 per game to $24.95 a game. A full season rental runs $149.95 or $119.95 for Dolphins season ticket-holders.
The TVs include games, highlights and the Red Zone channel, which gives fans a warning when a team is about to score. The service wil also debut real-time fantasy game statistics from NFL.com. The devices will be available starting at the Dolphins home opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 16.
The technology debuted in motorsports, where fans can watch races and listen to conversations between drivers and their crew chiefs.
