· "Command Center" will provide enhanced statistics utilizing a split screen application with live game action and immediate replays of every play. The coverage will use the ESPN Radio broadcast call.

· "Data Center" will offer significant on-screen graphic content ranging from analytics, curated social media reaction and more.

· Fans will be able to watch the entire game from the above stadium "SpiderCam" angle.

· "Taco Bell Student Section" will feature a camera in the student section of each team to showcase how the most enthusiastic fans in the building are living and dying with every play.
