A weekend of 3D demo events will entertain a grateful nation next month. The 3D demo days will be sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association and ESPN with the additional participation of AT&T, Comcast, and DirecTV.

We'll let CEA's press release tell the story:

On Saturday, September 11 at 3:40 p.m. ESPN 3D will feature the live telecast of defending Big Ten Conference champion No. 3 Ohio State hosting No. 19 Miami of the ACC in the first meeting between the perennial powers since the Buckeyes defeated the Hurricanes 31-24 in the 2003 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl to win the 2002 BCS National Championship. This marks the second time that Ohio State has been featured in 3D by ESPN as the team's game against USC on September 9, 2009, served as a test telecast for the network.

Between Friday, September 10 and Sunday, September 12 additional ESPN programming highlights in stores will include coverage from the 2010 FIFA World Cup, X Games 16, college football's Boise State vs. Virginia Tech game from September 6, 2010, as well as entertaining footage from the Harlem Globetrotters in an appearance at the ESPN Wide World of Sports in Orlando, Fla.

A recent CEA study found 64 percent of salespeople said shoppers want to see 3D sports. And 80 percent of salespeople said interest in 3D has risen over the past few months.
