I didn't have any trouble choosing the package I wanted.

The player itself is totally inaccessible. You can bring up the audio for
the game you want by doing one of two things:
1. Go to NFL.com, click on the Scores link and then choose the Listen Live
link for the feed you want to hear.
2. Go to NFL.com/fieldpass and click on the Low Bandwidth link and choose
the feed you want to listen to.

This will give you the audio of the game you want to hear, but like I said,
the player itself is totally inaccessible, so you'll have no way to change
the volume, pause the game or select a different feed from within the
player.

I need to amend what I said above. Apparently the player is somewhat
accessible with Screen Access. You can listen to one of their recent
podcasts for more information on how to use NFL Field Pass with Screen
Access.

I'd also suggest writing to NFL.com with your complaint. You'll get a
message that they're working on the accessibility of their player and the
instructions I gave above, but I think getting as many people as possible to
write will help ensure that we'll see an accessible player in the future.

Subject: [VICUG-L] NFL field pass

Has anyone tried NFL Field Pass this year? It is virtually inaccessible to
screen readers. First, you can't choose the package you want unless you have
sighted help. Second, once you get sighted help and pay for the darn thing,
you can't choose the game or team's feed you want. If you've had a different
experience, please let me know.
