Roger Goodell Wants Wi-Fi In Every Stadium.

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.

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:

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."

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

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.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
