Best Buy : Tech Zone Visiting Select Pro Football Playoff Cities

Shane KitzmanStaff Writer

Best Buy is taking tech on the road during pro football's postseason.

Fans in select U.S. cities will be able to check out the Best Buy Tech Zone, a 40-by-18-foot shipping container outfitted with nearly 30 gadgets. This free-to-see, traveling fan cave showcases how cutting-edge tech can transform your football-watching experience. For example, watch the action on a 65-inch 4K OLED LG TV, play 4K video games on the Xbox One X and hear all the sounds on a premium Bose sound system.

Tech Zone will visit cities hosting playoff football games throughout the month of January. Finally, it will arrive at the Mall of America in time for the Big Game, which is happening in Minneapolis on Feb. 4.

On Saturdays, the Tech Zone will be outside a local Best Buy store. Then on Sundays, it will welcome tailgating football fans starting about four hours before kickoff outside the stadium.

Here's the Tech Zone schedule:

Jacksonville, Florida:

• Saturday, Jan. 6: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST at the Regency Mall Best Buy
• Sunday, Jan. 7: Up to four hours before the 1:05 p.m. EST kickoff outside Gate 1 of EverBank Field

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:

• 13: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST at the South Hills Best Buy in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania
• 14: Up to four hours before the 1:05 p.m. EST kickoff outside on Art Rooney Ave. outside Heinz Field

Remaining schedule:

• 20-21: City yet to be determined
• 30-Feb. 3: Inside the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota

Try it, buy it

When fans visit the Tech Zone to try the 4K TVs, gaming consoles and sound systems, our Geek Squad Agents, Blue Shirts and In-Home Advisors will show just how easy it is for this gear to work together. For example, you can turn on the lights - and even change their color - by simply saying 'OK Google' with the Google Home.
