Just one of the MANY reasons you're watching the Super Bowl this year....may be the actual game.

(I kid, I kid....I know that's the MAIN reason, right?)

Around 100 million viewers will be able to see the game from about every angle....including from the most ground-level view in the end zone:  the pylon.

Admiral Video is based in Lancaster, and it's owner, Paul Halsey, is contracted out by the CBS for the NFL.

In years past, the NFL has used them, but they came with lousy reviews, mainly because of the technology used.  It was previously used with WiFi by ESPN, and with so many fans also using the signal, it doesn't work very well.

The cameras snuggled inside the pylon are durable enough to take the NFL hits, and not injure the players.  They are broadcast-quality and can handle weather changes too.

In all, it's pretty special to have such innovative thinkers, awesome products, and possible game-changers (literally) right here in WNY.  Another reason it's just so awesome here!
