iWiN4PreP Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 The answer to this question is getting a BlackBerry. Or any type of smart phone. Laptops are bulky and unnecessary at a ballpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonWeltall Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 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.

iWiN4PreP Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 Hm. appreciate the info Crimson! The answer to this question is getting a BlackBerry. Or any type of smart phone. Laptops are bulky and unnecessary at a ballpark. Love the bulkyness while sitting down . Cant stand small screens. Maybe the Ipad, my bro has that... hm.

Balta1701 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 It appears to depend on the stadium. Yankee stadium bans them. San Francisco provides free Wi-Fi. You may want to try emailing [email protected]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed Busch is a black hole of sorts for 3G as well. Cell service was going in and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
