| What?!
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.

@cox.net | 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.  |

1 edit | 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.

| wow
there have been rumors for years that the a's are going to be going to be in fremont, But wow this is amazing. One thing that i know for sure is if this were to happen housing prices in fremont are going to go up even more than they already are. A lot of money has to be invested to upgrade the infrastructure. Such as maybe extending bart upgrading interstates 880 and 680. As well as doing a lot of upgrading of the warm springs area since in my opinion the added traffic would certainly bog down many of the narrow streets that are down there.

Cleveland, OH | Yawn. This idea is so 1997.
I seem to remember the San Francisco Giants installing wireless at their new park, as well as PDA beaming kiosks. Does anyone use these services? No. |

Re: What?!
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. |

what if you have a ticket stored on your cell phone and it dies while your waiting in line at the game? what if you drop you cell phone and it gets damaged? at least with an actual ticket, that could never happen

Hope they also have free wifi. But the only good thing about this is that people can skip work to see a ball game and still access the network.
That area of Fremont already has one of the biggest bottlenecks to be found anywhere in the bayarea. You also get stuck there on the weekends.
Glad I moved away from Fremont a few months ago. Traffic galore. |

Now the traffic back-ups to get off on Warm Springs or Auto Mall Parkway will go all the way around the bay...

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). |

Re: possible problems
You could drop your paper ticket and it could blow away in the wind. I've seen it happen. I would hope it's more rare that someone would drop their cellphone and the impact would render the phone useless. |

Re: What?!
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 |

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 |
