Are Laptops allowed in Baseball Stadiums?

Featured Replies

I did a google search and one report said Yankee stadium doesn't allow them, another said Troppicana field does indeed allow them.

 

MY question is - I'd like to go to Tomorrow's Rays vs. Yankees game @ Troppicana field. But i'd also like to follow other games/news/reports etc. on my Laptop.

 

1. Are laptops allowed?

2. Is there internet?

 

Thanks for any help.

The answer to this question is getting a BlackBerry. Or any type of smart phone. Laptops are bulky and unnecessary at a ballpark.

The following items are PROHIBITED in Tropicana Field:

 

* Bags, purses, backpacks, coolers, containers of any kind in excess of 16" x 16" x 8"

* Wrapped presents* or presents of any kind in excess of 16" x 16" x 8"

* Hard containers or coolers of any kind, type or size

* Helium balloons and beach balls

* Bullhorns, airhorns, lasers

* Weapons, fireworks

* Cameras with lenses more than 12" in length

* Electronic equipment that interferes with other fans' enjoyment of the game

* Banners and flags with sticks, poles or items that can obstruct another fan's view

* Clothing with obscene or offensive messages

 

Doesn't mention laptops, but I'd at least be prepared to have to walk back to my car.

Love the bulkyness while sitting down :). Cant stand small screens.

Laptops could fall under this category

but personally, I would allow laptops into the game

It appears to depend on the stadium. Yankee stadium bans them. San Francisco provides free Wi-Fi. You may want to try emailing fanfeedback@whitesox.mlb.com.

Interesting. Ill try to talk to some people down here, would love to watch david price live vs the yanks, but also really involved with somethings internet wise.

Last year at Busch stadium, my ipod touch could not pick up any networks.

A couple years ago I was at Wrigley, and the lady a couple seats down the row was on her laptop doing work. It was a week day, and apparently she was allowed to leave work and go to the game, as long as she still did work during the game, so she sat there on her laptop and watched the game and did work in between innings. Seemed like a sweet life to me.

Just bring your desktop with keyboard, mouse, and printer and hook it up to a gas powered generator.

Tropicana doesn't strike me as a park that would have any fancy technology.

I noticed Busch is a black hole of sorts for 3G as well. Cell service was going in and out.

If you have an MLB.TV account, just go and have the game on your laptop so you can see replays. That's would I would do.

It's not Starbucks.

I thought I remembered something about them being on the leading edge of that a few years back.

Last year I had a G1 (which is now a Motorola Cliq) and I would post to this site from Camden Yards - a couple of posters asked me in the game thread how I was commenting on something in the first person but also posting it. It was pretty cool, although I was limited to what my battery could do.
