The Pittsburgh Steelers plan to provide an all-access virtual pass to Steelers fans, it was announced Thursday. Through a partnership with Los Angeles-based production studio MANDT VR, fans will be able to experience 360-degree virtual reality video of game day at Heinz Field.
“For many sports enthusiasts, myself included, watching a game on television pales in comparison to experiencing it in person— absorbing the energy and atmosphere of a stadium full of fans,” Neil Mandt, Founder and CEO of MANDT VR, said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to work with the Steelers to deliver a virtual experience that immerses viewers in the action, no matter where they are.”
Added Ryan Huzjak, Steelers Vice President of Sales and Marketing in a statement: “We are always looking for new ways to engage with our fans. Allowing Steelers fans to experience game day at Heinz Field through virtual reality is something we are excited about.”
