Brentford to include in-game stats, heat maps for fans against Sheffield Utd

Brentford's home game against Sheffield United in the Premier League will feature a new experiment.

The game taking place at the Gtech Community Stadium will feature augmented highlights that can be seen on the big screen.

Per The Mail, information included will be the players' shot speeds and pitch maps.

The idea is to provide supporters with more insight into what they are seeing in front of them.

Whether the project takes off is unclear, but other clubs have expressed some interest in the technology as well.

The current project from Brentford is in partnership with their sponsor Gtech.
