Getting the game wired

While coaches and players prepare for Sunday, the NBC broadcast crew has been setting up in Minneapolis as well.

They are getting ready to put on the most watched sporting event of the year. It's a major undertaking.

There are as many as 76 hand-held, manned and remote cameras for use in the game - upwards of 100 if you include the pre-game.

It's all coordinated and run through more than 50-miles of cable and a whopping 14 production trucks below U.S. Bank Stadium.

In the primary truck alone, there are more than 85 monitors on the wall and 1,000-plus buttons on the desk where the director sits.

The producer is also looking at these same cameras, but for replay purposes - and he's also communicating with his announcers throughout as well.

It’s coordinated chaos to say the least but come Super Bowl Sunday the folks behind the scenes and in front of the camera will make it look easy.
