The Baltimore Ravens Unveil Insane Futuristic ‘Mixed Reality’ Spectacle During ‘Thursday Night Football’ And Fans Are Obsessed

If there are three fundamental truths in this life it’s death, taxes, I’m awful at math, and NFL fans are allergic to change.

That’s why fans nearly had a collective mental breakdown when Hank Williams Jr.’s “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” was replaced with a little ditty from Carrie Underwood. It’s why teams literally initially refused to wear their Color Rush jerseys for Thursday Night Football. And it’s why the Chargers have a total of three-and-a-half fans in their new city.

But during the Ravens 42-21 win over the Jets on Thursday Night Football, the Ravens organization unveiled a wrinkle that objectively was equally as enjoyable as watching your star QB break Michael Vick’s single-season rushing yards record.

On Thursday night, the Ravens rolled out the new “mixed-reality” feature, a merging of real and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations in real time within the stadium. Or, in terms I’m more familiar with, it’s like a really wild mushroom trip.

My brain is still trying to comprehend what is going on. Is that Raven real? Is anything real? Mom said these brownies just contained just peanut butter and chocolate chips.

The Ravens are the first NFL team to utilize mixed reality, but given the reception, we’re definitely going to see other teams follow suit.

Once mixed reality becomes a staple in the NFL, teams are inevitably going to start using it to troll its opponents. Can you imagine this image being blown up to the size of an office building and being held over Colts fans’ heads for all of eternity?
