In 2013 the National Football League struck a $400 million deal with Microsoft. The basis of the deal was for Microsoft to be the main sponsor for sideline technology. "The Official Sideline Technology Sponsor of the NFL," in theory this seems like a fantastic marketing idea to have several NFL players and coaches holding the Surface Pro Tablet on the sidelines while millions of people watch.
Not only were the tablets not working while most of the United States was watching, but the icing on the cake was the head coach of the Patriots Bill Belichick said the "problems occur fairly often". Hopefully we don't have any disasters in the Super Bowl. I would hate to see the biggest game in the world decided on if a tablet works or not. If your on the tablet market maybe look elsewhere besides the Microsoft Surface Pro tablet.
