Does anyone listen to the game broadcast in the dome? (1 Viewer)

I understand this is a very old school question, but I was wondering if anyone listens to the radio call from inside the dome on game days? If so, do you use an app or a simple pocket radio with headphones? It would be nice to have commentary to go along with the game, to keep up with injuries and things we may not can see from our seats. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I wonder how much of a delay there would be

It's broadcast on AM radio inside the dome. I listened the whole time I had season tix (2008-2021). My "seat mates" loved me having it as I could hear live from Deuce what they could see of replays whenever there is a close call or penalty. The ONLY way to know what is going on between plays. Also get to hear live stats, injury updates, etc.

First used the little AM radio the Saints sent as a season ticket holder gift, then bought more of those as they didn't last long (for a while they sold them at the concession stand). Tried streaming through the NFL app, it was buggy and a pita. Same thing with Audacy or TuneIn - it's only as good as Verizon Wi-Fi, which was TERRIBLE. Supposedly wifi will be better this year due to improvements made for the Super Bowl, but I wouldn't count on it. Tried different walkman type devices - found that the headphone cord is the antenna, and when you move your body the signal goes in and out.

Some of the older guys wear giant 1970's style headphones that both kill the noise level and receive the signal.

FINALLY found THIS - and it works like a champ:

The only minor hassle is that it is powered by your phone, and has to be plugged in to use it. Not sure if they are made any longer, but there are probably similar items available. Try googling NFL AM receiver or FM receiver.

It will be nice to be able to get injury updates and unseen reports while watching the game. I really appreciate

Thanks for the info! I’m glad to know the signal is obtainable in the dome through a pocket radio. I’m gonna try it out week one. It will be nice to get injury updates and sideline reports while watching the game. I can see pretty good, but being in the upper deck, it’s easy to miss some things.

pocket radio with earbuds 100%. I made the mistake of using an AM radio app on my phone for the Saints/Cardinals game in 2016, didn't realize they would be about 20 seconds of delay between on field action and the broadcast. unusable.

Yeah the streaming delay would drive me nuts. I’m glad to know a little pocket radio will work. I’m fixing to buy one now so I will have it before next weekend. I’ve went to a lot of games, and I remember when I was younger you would see folks using them, but I hadn’t seen anybody recently, and was hoping maybe it was just because people didn’t want to use them, as opposed to the signal not being obtainable anymore.
