The three-man Action Cam crew responsible for the overhead, suspended camera was busy unloading their trailer behind Bryant-Denny Stadium as the lunchtime crowd filed by.

In all, a crew of 75 will handle broadcasting the game around the country. It takes four to operate the floating camera setup that began Tuesday.

“In a stadium like this, if we can get the points up high and to the far corners, it just opens up the flight space for the camera,” said P.J. Bennett of Action Cam. “This is like a NFL stadium.”

In all, the equipment is valued at $500,000 with the camera itself representing half the total.

“Just the lens itself is $50,000,” Bennett said. “So this isn’t cheap equipment.”

Correction, it's better than many NFL stadiums.

It's also been filled to capacity more times than NFL Owners could possibly hope for their own stadiums.

I'm predicting there will be a new record of viewers for this game. I'm also betting there will be mega commercials for this one and that means a looooooong game.

No problem scheduling commercials, though.  There will be plenty of 3-and-out series, which calls for (boring) commercials after each.

Yep, looooong game.

   It's CBS of course there will be extra commercials.

[Jamos]

They're the best at dragging out a game.

LOL. He was talking about the 4 suspension points. But they also mentioned the stadiums of ND and the Little Rock stadium the Hogs use being inadequate. It would seem that if there was any chance of affecting a game, the overhead camera would not be used.

this must be big , we got the handicapped bus from espn too ...

I remember the days when the Athletic Department shot their own game film. Don't think this happens anymore.

When you said CBS was going to go all out, I thought you meant Verne was going to broadcast naked. 

That would give new meaning to the old Keith Jackson term of "big uglies"
