<h2>The Solution</h2>
The LA Rams began setting a new standard for fans experiences in the stadium when leveraging the GeniusIQ data and AI platform to deliver immersive, data-driven augmented highlights on SoFi Stadium’s iconic Infinity Screen for every home game  
The augmented highlights harness official NFL Next Gen Stats (NGS) data to generate player locators, speeds, QB time to throw, and a complete minimap of all 22 players on key replays, sponsored by Verizon. 
GeniusIQ, our next-generation platform, applies powerful machine learning and AI to translate huge volumes of NGS data into a semantic understanding of football. A real-time augmentation pipeline takes these insights to trigger first-of-their-kind branded logo placements for Verizon, in the most exciting moments.

<h2>The Result</h2>
Across the 2024 NFL season, Genius Sports is delivering augmentations and graphic overlays to fans inside SoFi Stadium, with a number of game-changing outputs:

Key partner Verizon is integrated during the biggest moments, unlocking premium new augmented advertising inventory

Verizon’s logo takes center stage, creating a dynamic new platform for them to strengthen their brand affinity with Rams fans

From the short yardage gains to the big explosive plays, the augmented highlights bring fans even closer to the action with real-time context
