Don’t have a central spot to get the latest updates on your favorite sporting events as they happen? Wait. Don’t we have Twitter for that? Well, Facebook is out to prove they can do a better job with its new Sports Stadium feature. The new part of the social network lets you experience your favorite sports in real-time. There you’ll have access to posts from your friends; commentary and posts by experts like the team themselves, leagues, and journalists—with a promise for easy access to their Pages; live scores, stats, and play-by-play; as well as game information like where to find the game on TV.
To access Sports Stadium, you have to just search for the game in the app. Facebook said they are still looking for new ways to get you to the feature in the future. It’s launching first in the US just in time for American football season to start next month. It’s currently available on the iPhone and will be coming to other platforms in the coming weeks.
