Word on the street is that facebook is getting into the sports realm with 360 degree filming to watch through the headset as if you are at the game. Everything from PPV to concerts to the World Series. Initial price point should be around $1,500 bones but that will come down. Hope our upgrades are worth it and we can push a communal aspect for games because it's going to kill attendance.

You can already watch the game better from home. I certainly wouldn't drop the money to sit at home and watch the game from way back in the seats. You go to the game for other reasons, not for the view.

not for the view.

I don't know about that. There are some very pleasant things to view in Doak that usually aren't caught on TV.

The Rift won't be $1500, that's just a speculated ideal price for your rig to be able to run the specs. The headset itself will be much cheaper.

They will be now...

Some things are just better seen in person. Especially if you can interact with what you are seeing.

Exactly, I can already watch the game better from my living room, with alcohol too. There's just a different feeling you get at the games and you can't tailgate from home.
