Such is the power every sports fan has with FanVision. The mobile handset, about the size of a GPS unit and weighing a few ounces, has been used for NASCAR races, Formula 1 races, and PGA Tour events. Now, FanVision has come to NFL football.

The device, which sports a 4.3-inch screen, gives fans the ability to watch the game they’re attending in real-time from five angles. They’re usually network broadcast feeds, but some derive from stadium-only feeds.

More important is replaying the game’s most recent play from three angles, some of which are available only through the handset. Two out-of-town games are also viewable live, and other features include real-time stat updates from all games, a customizable fantasy football roster widget, the NFL RedZone channel, audio from network and local stations — and even a cheerleader camera in select stadiums.

FanVision advisor Mike Weisman, who’s won multiple Emmys as a TV sports producer, said it’s practical for fans to track games on a handset while watching one on the field, considering there’s roughly 15 to 17 minutes of actual football during the three-plus hours a game can last. “You have approximately two hours and 45 minutes to be distracted without missing any plays on the field,” Weisman told Wired.com.
