Facebook launches Sports Stadium hub for discussing games, teamsJanuary 21, 2016 - 17:03 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Facebook has introduced a new place for all our sports conversations. Called the Sports Stadium, it’s a virtual area where users and their friends, and 650 million sports fans on the social network can talk about games, teams, stats, and more. It’ll also feature live play-by-play action — just like you’d see on ESPN, but with more of a community around it, VentureBeat reports. This new sports-only area is rolling out Thursday, January 21 for American football games, just in time for Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, Calif. Other sports, like basketball and soccer, will be added soon. It’s initially only available on Facebook’s iOS app for those in the United States, with additional platforms supported “in the coming weeks.” To access the Sports Stadium, search by game in Facebook’s main app. There you’ll find a dashboard featuring commentary, news, individual plays, live scores, and more. It’s designed to function as a second-screen experience, so while you’re watching your favorite team score, you can trash talk all you want or discuss why the previous play should be overturned.
