Replays and Stats via Smart Phones - Andy - 12-18-2009
This is from a little while ago, but interesting:
Article
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->If you can't go big, go small. Kenney said the Cubs are looking at the possibility of installing an intranet at Wrigley for fans carrying iPhones and other smartphones, giving them access to stats and instant replays. He said San Francisco and San Diego are among the organizations with technology giving fans at the ballparks access to game information on handheld devices.
The historic centerfield scoreboard has no room for video replay, and is landmarked anyways and can't be touched.
"We know there is a little bit of an information desert at Wrigley that doesn't exist anywhere elsewhere, and we are going to tackle it in other ways," he said. "But I don't know if we'll do a Jumbotron."
There's been no decision on whether the Cubs would have the intranet in place for the 2010 season. But changes are coming to Wrigley Field, as the Ricketts family has said all along.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I think it's a great idea. Everyone is dicking around on their phones during the game anyway. Give them access to instant replays/stats/etc. and there's no need for a jumbotron.

I think they should make Ronnie Woo Woo a bathroom attendant. Instead of "woo woo" he can say "wee wee".

I already have a jumbotron in my pocket but I'd be happy to see this.

I'd be more than fine with that.

I've been saying this for months. I think the plywood in RF is a play towards this happening. Ricketts wants to buy the building or lease the rooftop. The obstruction he had put up is a means to force the owner to the table.

Yeah, me too. Well maybe not since 03, but I'm with you, I have loved the idea for awhile. It's a nice way to bring in the new without taking away from the traditional.

Absolutely. If the Ricketts install a low-key jumbotron across the street and tie it in with the smart phone alerts idea, those would be huge revenue generators.
At the same time, I wonder how difficult it would be to get the neighborhood to agree to inserting a massive screen on a side street. I would imagine some locals would be pissed for whatever reason.
Replays and Stats via Smart Phones - jstraw - 12-21-2009
The technology is moving so fast with LEDs, movable surfaces, etc. that there could be screens that rise up from Waveland and Sheffield that are only up and in place during games. Some sort of telescoping, collapsible superstructure with thin and light LED panels.
I suppose they'd have to consider placement so as not to interfere with the Wrigley roof revenue.

This would be really cool because I have a iphone. But I don't live to close to chicago!
