Worcester Sharks News Release
WORCESTER - Worcester Sharks President and CEO Michael T. Lehr announced today that the organization has installed a SharksVision 360-degree robotic camera inside the DCU Center to enhance the fans in-game experience during a Sharks home game.
The robotic camera is mounted underneath the SharksVision Scoreboard and will provide dramatic camera views during Sharks home games. This new camera has the ability to film many parts of the arena that conventional cameras can not and will offer new angles to see the game such as a bird's eye view of face-offs at Center Ice, enhanced replays and closer views to on-ice action.
"This 360-degree robotic camera will give Sharks fans a view of the game that is second to none," said Lehr. "Our goal during every game is to offer fans great entertainment and this new SharksVision 360 camera is going to add so much more to the in-game experience. We couldn't be more thrilled to have installed in time for our Calder Cup Playoff run."
This 360-degree robotic camera will not only strengthen in-arena content, but will give viewers at home using the b2 Networks an exciting feel.
The DCU Center will also have the opportunity to use the camera during other events held within the arena as well.
Tickets for the final two games at the DCU Center to experience this new 360-degree robotic camera are still on sale by visiting the DCU Center Box Office, any Ticketmaster outlets, or by Crashing the Net at Sharksahl.com.
On Friday night, the Sharks take on the Providence Bruins at 7:00 p.m. It's Lucky Friday the 13th at the DCU Center as the first 1,300 fans receive a lottery scratch ticket. The first 3,000 fans will also receive a Thomas Greiss Autographed Collectors Card, courtesy of Enterprise Cleaning.
