Roger Goodell Wants Wi-Fi In Every Stadium.

[EMSMedic79]

I'm all for the idea..... Go Goodell!

Why would you ever want or need WiFi during a game?? You pay the ticket price to get away from the interwebs world and enjoy watching a game for 3 hours. I turn my phone OFF at football/basketball games.

At UT football games, data service is slow as hell anyway considering that there are 100K + people in that stadium with smartphones. I'm sure it's the same at BOA.

Wi-Fi in every stadium. We've come a long way from a chicken in every pot.

You know the wine and cheesers will haul their laptops and tablets in to peruse the latest bed and breakfast reviews.

I have zero interest in the Internet during a football game.

Exactly!! and for all the people that do , who want to go online and do all this stuff instead of watching the game = stay home B) or maybe it might stop the people behind me from telling me to sit down all the time since they might be to busy on the internet instead of watching the game :blink:

I don't how useful having Wi-fi at the stadium will be. Everyone has smartphones now, the cell phone companies make sure of that cause if it's not considered a smartphone, you probably don't want it.

The upcoming DNC will fix whatever shortcomings the stadium has in www inter-connectivity.

I'd rather watch the game when I go to the stadium. Seems like a big waste of money not to.

but I need my porns at halftime bro..

[PhillyB]

oh good we need more things to encourage milquetoast observers to clog the stadium with their silence and disapproving stares at the whippersnappers making all that reckless noise.

"excuse me sir could you please sit down? i don't want to stand up, my ipad might fall to the ground, and i want to watch this defensive play. it's third down, you know."

Read about this awhile. Basically, the NFL is trying to attract lost ticket sales into the stadium by trying to offer an interactive experience, including live in-stadium chat-feeds, etc.

My son has an iPhone and tested it for the Panthers last year. Not too bad during the game but don't even try during halftime or between quarters. We're in the lower bowl. It was AT&T and since I have a family plan with them, he had no trouble getting connected, no passwords or login needed. Even so, I'm sure all 70,000+ people don't have smartphones or would use it. My phone isn't smart. ;) Besides, they'll probably have better dedicated hot spots in the club areas, suites, special areas, etc. I also had heard that they may add Verizon wifi too. And SIGCHI222 is correct, for the DNC that stadium will have everything to support all the gadgets in the world and they may just leave most of it behind. :ph34r:

This would be cool but doesnt really feel like to place to crack out your ipad....also it wouldnt be cheap and would be a bitch to setup without the infrastructure already in place.....i look forward to BOA monitoring and filtering all content

I can't think of anything I'd hate more than seeing even more people with their faces glued to some kind of device.

Sports are supposed to be an escape.
