Big Bella

The name says it all, Big Bella. Big Bella is the world's largest t-shirt cannon and she stands at a whopping 10' high and 600lbs.
As you see here, Big Bella can fire an enormous amount of t-shirts into the crowd like never before. She can shoot up to 100 t-shirts per second and reach upper deck sections which Big Bella's predecessors could never do before. Big Bella might just be what the 76ers need to get back on their feet with an increase in fans during their home games.

The New Sideline

Microsoft tablet used by coaches in the NFL on the sideline has changed the game. No longer do players have to see two dimensional plays off of a piece of paper, but now they are able to view the upcoming play in-depth from a variety of different views. The tablet also opens up the ability to keep track of individual players, play-to-play unlike ever before. They also have the ability to show video of a play in practice or a game to go over with a player what they might need to fix. With the tablet now on the Sideline, everything is quicker and more efficient for the coaches and players.

Not only is the tablet useful on the sideline, but it can also be used to keep up with recruiting with the iScoutPad app. Coaches are  now capable of doing more and more things at a time to better his team which is having a huge impact on the game today.

Seven Technology

An ongoing problem within all sport is concussions. within the past couple of years, the issue of these concussions and their chronic injuries formed later in life have become more and more public. The seven technology was developed to effectively reduce the number of concussions. On impact, the seven technology compresses and distributes the energy creating a softer blow for the athletes. The Pro7, which was the first helmet to utilize the seven technology, was groundbreaking and by far the most technologically advanced.
