Ticketmaster helps OneCourt bring haptic hockey to blind fans at NHL marquee events

Ticketmaster helps OneCourt bring haptic hockey to blind fans at NHL marquee events

OneCourt and the NHL reached a deal to bring OneCourt's haptic devices for blind and low-vision fans to the league's tentpole events, in collaboration with sponsor Ticketmaster. For NHL games, OneCourt ingests the league's NHL Edge puck- and player-tracking data.

  • 01Ticketmaster's sponsorship has helped OneCourt spread through professional sports, so the route into arenas has run through a ticketing sponsor.
  • 02The data OneCourt needs for hockey already exists. The devices ingest the league’s NHL Edge puck and player-tracking feed, so for teams the key questions are sponsorship, access and rollout.
  • 03Season-long deployments mean more than marquee nights. The Avalanche, Blackhawks, Capitals and Red Wings have devices at every home game this season, and OneCourt’s at-home device launching sometime in December could bring the experience to the couch.

Panthers stay home through $1.3B-plus stadium rebuild

Panthers stay home through $1.3B-plus stadium rebuild

The Panthers’ $1.3 billion-plus transformation of Bank of America Stadium reaches deep into core building systems, with completion targeted for 2030. Charlotte’s share is capped at $650 million. TSE is on the hook for overruns, capacity will shrink, and some season-ticket holders must move.

  • 01Charlotte’s contribution is capped at $650 million. TSE chose the full optional scope; the cap fixes the public share, with overruns on TSE and maintenance assigned to the operator.
  • 02Bank of America Stadium's transformation now exceeds $1.3 billion and reaches the 30-year-old venue's mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. The Panthers and Charlotte FC will keep playing home games there throughout the project.

International Dance League builds its broadcast around the crowd

International Dance League builds its broadcast around the crowd

In the International Dance League, the crowd's reaction is the contest. That makes audio mixing and shots framing dancers with fans the core production problem. Lim plans to add play-by-play and separate the live event from the broadcast show as the league negotiates media rights.

  • 01When the crowd's reaction is the competition, the audio engineer mixing that noise tells as much of the story as any camera.
  • 02The live cut often missed crowd-and-dancer moments later found in the edit room, and the 2027 plan includes longer lenses to frame dancers and audience together.
