PASADENA, Calif. – Fox Sports has a few weather-related tricks up its sleeve for next month’s Super Bowl telecast, and the network plans to test them out before the Feb. 2 game that will be the first played in a cold-weather climate.
It will use this weekend’s NFC title game in Seattle between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seahawks to test an infrared camera that will show how players’ body temperatures change throughout the game.
“I don’t know what story that tells, but it might make for some pretty cool pictures,” Eric Shanks, Fox Sports chief operating officer and executive producer, told the Television Critics Association on Monday.
