The system allows for an immersive 360-degree reconstruction of plays, giving spectators at Raymond James Stadium an opportunity to see plays from every angle. Installation has not been completed yet, but the Buccaneers are hoping to have the system up and running by November, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
