These broadcast devices translate live game action into vibrations and audio. About the size of a tablet, they turn gameplay into trackable vibrations and real-time sound, letting Bucks fans feel the action with their fingertips while receiving live updates through an earpiece.

Each rental includes a set of headphones, but fans may also use their own if it works with a standard three-millimeter headphone jack. Devices not reserved ahead of time will be available on a first-come, first-served basis at Guest Services in Section 120.

“Partnering with the Bucks is another powerful step toward a world where every fan can truly feel the game,” Jerred Mace, OneCourt CEO remarked.
