INTRODUCTION
The San Francisco 49ers are a professional American football team that competes in the National Football League. In anticipation of the 2016 NFL Draft in Chicago, the team unveiled a new high-tech draft room that replaced traditional white boards and 2,000 player magnets.
The draft room functions as a base of operations for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of prospective draftees, evaluating player trades, and game or play replay and analysis. Coaches, scouting professionals and executives now have access to entire databases of information at their fingertips.
Electrosonic provided the engineering design, installation, commissioning and programming for the room, which is located inside the 49ers’ training facility near Levi’s Stadium, the most technologically advanced stadium anywhere in the world.
