Roger Goodell Wants Wi-Fi In Every Stadium.


Recommended Posts

Was watching NFLN. Goodell was on, conference.

He was talking about how in a conversation with the CEO of Nike, he mentioned to him that NBA players have more padding from the waist down and blah blah blah, safety this, and so on.

Then they moved on to some talks about how they have a plan to have Wi-Fi available for all 31 stadiums so the fans can stay connected. Fantasy football, redzone, etc.

They asked him how this would be thought out, how it would be paid for. He said there are some partners he would like to get, so they can help this vision go forth.

What I was thinking, would this fall to the PSL owners? They there be a price hike? All this is fairly new and I'm not sure of the schematics of it. But he didn't really address who would pay for it. I'm not a PSL owner, aspiring to be one day, but I'd be kinda peeved that the bill would fall on my lap.

Any folks with insight on this type of deals?

Probably would be in a partnership with a local internet provider. "Official WiFi provider of the Carolina Panthers" type deal.

It would probably entail putting routers at various points throughout the stadium. The trick would be to not provide free WIFi for the whole neighborhood. You would need to have either 1 huge wireless router, or multiple routers throughout the stadium.

They're going to make beer 10$ a bottle....

The last time I went to BoA, I paid $6 for a bottle. I nursed the hell out of that beer. Then I got thirsty again, bought another one. I realized I could have bought a 12 pack of beer for the two freaking bottles I just slowing sipped. Never again man. Next time I go, I'm going in drunk to the game.

They could turn the router off except for Sundays..and have a new password for every game. The password can be printed on tickets/etickets..or they could list the new password every Sunday through screens located throughout the facility. Wouldn't be that hard to do and would cater to individuals at the game.

I always drink before I go, I was drinking Jack at 10:00 am at the ATL game last season, but I always end up buying a couple before its all said and done.

No idea why anyone would need this. First of all, who doesn't have 3G or 4G these days. Secondly, you should be too busy drinking and watching the damn game to Tweet your witty insights to your 12 followers.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
