- Los Angeles Rams fans to enjoy augmented in-game Next Gen Stats
highlights during games at SoFi Stadium, powered by GeniusIQ
- Genius Sports to enhance fan experience with Next Gen Stats
including player locators, time for the quarterback to throw,

- Rams partner Verizon to sponsor the augmented content
The Los Angeles Rams (“Rams”) have collaborated with Genius
Sports Limited (“Genius Sports”) (NYSE:GENI) to provide their fans
with augmented, data-driven in-game highlights within SoFi
Stadium.
During every Rams home game, immersive highlights leveraging the
NFL’s proprietary Next Gen Stats (“NGS”) data will be displayed on
SoFi Stadium’s iconic Infinity Screen. These highlights, powered by
GeniusIQ, Genius Sports’ next generation data and artificial
intelligence platform will include crucial NGS insights such as
player locators and speeds, time for the quarterback to throw and a
complete minimap.
As a long-term partner of the Rams, Verizon will be integrated
at crucial times within the highlights, unlocking premium new
augmented advertising inventory in front of a highly engaged
audience. Verizon’s logo and messaging will take center stage
creating a dynamic new platform for them to strengthen their brand
affinity with Rams fans.
GeniusIQ applies powerful machine learning and AI to translate
huge volumes of NGS data into a semantic understanding of football.
It then powers real-time insights and brand activations, creating
meaningful connections with fans when the on-field action is at its
most compelling.
“Since opening SoFi Stadium in 2020, we continuously look to
team up with best-in-class companies to set the gameday standard at
the Rams House,” said Kathryn Kai-ling Frederick, Chief Marketing
Officer, Los Angeles Rams. “We are thrilled to work with Genius
Sports to deliver this unprecedented experience to our fans and
grateful to our partner Verizon for elevating this content.”
“Connecting our partners and sports fans with the excitement of
live sports through memorable experiences is intrinsic to our
GeniusIQ offering,” said Steve Bornstein, President, North America
of Genius Sports. “Our partnership with the Los Angeles Rams breaks
new ground in sports fan engagement, combining immersive highlights
and rich tracking insights for brands like Verizon. We’re delighted
to showcase the enhanced value of Genius Sports with the NFL and
the Rams.”
