The Portland Trail Blazers have been testing out a new device that helps visually impaired fans enjoy live games.  They recently became the first NBA team to add OneCourt devices, little pads that vibrate and tell you what’s happening, and there’s also an audio feed that pairs with it.  They have five of them available for free at all home games.  A kid named Hank Vogel recently got to try one and loved it.  He said it’s the first time he’s really enjoyed a live sporting event.
