NFL turns over every leaf in ongoing revenue hunt
FILE - In this Aug. 17, 2014, file photo, fans watch as the San Francisco 49ers play the Denver Broncos during the first quarter of an NFL preseason football game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. In the not-too-distant future, a football fan might be able to take his seat at the stadium, punch up any game he wants on the monitor set in the seatback in front of him, keep tabs on the real-time stats of his fantasy team, order up a hot dog and beer and even have a brand-new jacket brought to his seat if the wind kicks up. This is the future of the NFL _ the $9 billion league that kicked off the 2014 season this week and has plans on going bigger over the next decade. (AP Photo/Tony Avelar, File) | Tony Avelar
