Good News: I scored tickets to a very cool inaugural ball at the Air & Space Museum.

Bad News: I acquired the tickets without thinking about the AFCCG, and it starts at 8:00p on Sunday night.

Since not going isn't an option, and they won't have TVs there (I asked the organizers already), I need to figure out how to watch the second half. Worst case scenario, I can listen via NFL Mobile, but does anyone know if there are ways to stream the game via my iPhone?

I'd love to find out as well, but unless you live outside of US no streaming option is available for an iOS nor Android device.

This includes both legal and not-so-legal options. If anyone knows a way around I'd love to find out.

You can always buy a Monsoon Vulkano Flow, or a Slingbox, to stream the CBS broadcast from your home to your iPhone. I have never used one, though - maybe someone who has can share their experience.

If living outside the US is the "requirement" why not get a VPN service? I use Witopia (not free) but there are a few free options out there. If mine basically tells my ipad that I'm in the US it can work the other way around.

If you are sitting at an inaugural ball, surrounded by government types who are craning their necks at your phone, dying to see what's going on in the AFC Championship game, wouldn't you want to be watching the game *legally*?

I've never used slingbox, but Tony Mazz endorses it so it must be great! Seems like it'd be the way to go despite Mazz's endorsement.

can't you use a browser like Skyfire to watch the flash-based pirate streams that get posted on sites like vipbox? or does that approach not work anymore?

I've watched both football and hockey streams on my Android phone by pointing the browser to myp2p. These streams tend to be flash, though, so you may be out of luck with iOS.

This is what I will probably end up doing. I tried it with some college hoops games last night, and it worked pretty well. Fingers crossed...

Can you show up late?

I've done this a number of times and it works alright. Way better than nothing.

I'll bet a good percentage of the people at the ball will be in the same boat (esp. with the Ravens involved), and there will be a TV in some corner where the security guards or catering staff take their breaks.

I came up with a better solution: I got tickets to the official ball on Monday night, and sold the Sunday ball tix. Win-win. Thanks all for the suggestions, though.
