I don't know if too many people would recognize the term "sky cam" when they heard it but to me it's the best thing to happen to football since HD. It is a camera run on wires with electric motors inside that make it zip around the stadium about 30ft (or more, I dunno) above the field and give you the view of a player, just higher. Being a former football player, I love being able to see the whole offense/defense in as close a natural POV as possible. Skycam is the only thing that can get that close. Here is a picture of the camera/shot:
This is a great view to watch from but unfortunately because of passes and field of view limitations, they usually switch to convential side cameras seconds after the snap. Luckily we still get to see skycam replays a lot, especially punts. Hopefully they start using a wider view version or shot to show more of the game in.
