LSN is a user-friendly system that allows fans to watch live sporting events on the Internet. Through "narrowcasting", LSN allows viewers from all over the globe to become members and purchase pay-per-view events or season passes. Fans can then experience the LSN Enhanced Viewing Experience: they can watch the game live (or an archived game at a discounted price) on an interactive media player that includes audio feed of game announcers, a live-chat with fellow viewers, trivia sessions, and up to the minute live statistical updates. The fan is no longer just watching the game, but in fact is a part of a community. The games are streamed directly form the venue through web casting units that gather, encode, and dispatch content without human intervention and are operated remotely from any Internet connection in the world.
"We are excited to partner with the Florida Seals for their inaugural season at the Silver Spurs Arena," said EyeCentric Media President Tim Erwin. "I look forward to providing a whole new experience to Seals fans this season and am glad to be a part of their first season at the Silver Spurs Arena."
