Fans attending Florida Panthers games will be able to access in-game commentary and listen in on exclusive Panthers team content via their phone in real time. The streaming service will be available exclusively to fans at BB&T Center via the ProWire app, available on iOS and Android.
ProWire is an in-stadium broadcast service that streams real-time audio channels to fans’ phones. In select stadiums, people can download the app, connect their headphones and choose from a selection of real-time audio channels.
“We are always looking for ways to enhance the fan experience and deliver new, digital services at BB&T Center,” said Matthew Caldwell, president and CEO of the Florida Panthers. “We are continuing to invest in our in-venue wireless infrastructure to drive fan engagement. We are excited to implement ProWire’s technology to really bring our fans closer to the action on the ice.”
ProWire’s patent-pending streaming technology is deployed in-venue to deliver high-quality audio channels to fans’ smartphones in real-time over the existing venue wi-fi.
“The Panthers are a very innovative club focused on fan engagement,” said Gordon Sumner, co-founder and CEO of ProWire. “They have invested in their network infrastructure at BB&T to provide the best digital experiences. Now, fans at Panthers games just need their phone and headphones to access a range of audio channels with no delay. They can experience all the sounds of the game as it happens in front of them.”
