Re: What?!
said by scalper06 :if tickets are stored on the cell phone, can the scalper just SMS it to me? Why would someone take their laptop to a ball game?? If ANYTHING, get something like Nextel's FanView. Link » www.nextel.com/en/promotions/racing.shtml That Fanview is pretty cool. I like to take a laptop to baseball games to view stats, and bs in between innings on irc. I also watch other games on mlb.com I use it at pacbell/sbc/att park to root AGAINST the Giants |

That seems like the way to do it indeed. Besides there is that rental fee, that would seem all the reason needed ;(
Would you really want to have your laptop open for replays while you (and those next to you!) enjoy a beer and hotdog during a grand slam ?!?
When everyone stands up to see the action in front of you i guess you can still see it on your laptop (then why are you there in person). Or forget and stand-up anyway...your laptop is drop-proof right?
It's one thing to say sorry you spilled on someone...spilling a beer or coke on their laptop is gonna be a bit tougher :O |

the 5th 3rd Stadium in Toledo Ohio has Wireless Internet throughout it. They use it for various things though. It was on the news not too long ago (www.wtol.com CBS News station here). |

This is crazy. At my school (RPI, which has plenty of techies) we have wireless in our hockey arena(its the big sport at my school) for conventions and other purposes. I have only once, ever seen a person using it at a game. No one wants to be using the internet while at a game, they want to watch the game. |

how stupid I wouldn't lug my laptop or want to watch on my cell phone I paid the money to see the game with my own two eyes NOT though a device!!
plus your side by side with a lot of other fans you'd have no room to whip out your laptop.
just a dumb idea.

just one more ridiculous idea. Internet everywhere? You can watch baseball at the game on wi-fi but not on the net at a coffee shop elsewhere except overseas? Another great idea.  |
