Stadium Upgrade - Improved Wifi Coming!

[*ochocincos*]

Looks like the Bengals are going to improve the wifi at PBS.

Elizabeth Blackburn: “In today’s world, fans demand first-class amenities and part of that is continuous Wi-Fi connectivity so they can engage w/ family and friends, post on social media, and check the latest news, scores, and stats. continue to enhance the game-day experience.” https://t.co/efgUZvhau5

Per Bengals.....#Bengals and altafiber (@CincyBell) announce partnership that will deliver a state-of-the-art, fiber-enabled Wi-Fi network at PBS.
Will build Wi-Fi network that will more than double the number of access points (1,600) at PBS.

There is a 2-4 minute commercial break every few minutes of game time, is it OK with you if I look at my messages during that time, King?

I bet I still won't be able to do anything on my phone. When you have that many phones it's impossible to use wifi

Fans who are upset about no practice field which has no impact on the fans who spend big bucks at game
I was season ticket for a long time and could never get Wi-Fi to work inside the stadium. They did an upgrade and still could not get it

Basically - wifi sucks (or sucked) at PBS for a long time. It's really good in SOFI stadium. The end.

Look Ma!  I'm watching the game on my phone, while messaging people to let them know I'm watching the game, while at the game.  (It's a game intensifying experience)

Aw man....the last remaining company using the Bell name is gone (Cincinnati Bell).  Looks like it happened just a couple weeks ago too.  

The Bell Telephone Company was the first telephone company.  It was known Cincinnati Bell would be the last but it's a shame that day finally came.  I'd say "end of an era" but it's like 145 years...I don't know what one would call that, lol.

Oh but on topic...cool upgrade to the stadium.  :)

I just like it because it's another step at us keeping up with the times, improving the fan experience, and evolving, which you know Mike would have never spent the money to do this kind of thing if he were still running things.

I see people saying "watch the game," but there's 30 seconds between plays, between quarters, halftime, when we've won a game and are just killing clock, and TV timeouts.

When we won the home playoff game, we were all going nuts and were trying to post videos of us celebrating!

There's always people texting throughout the game and trying to organize where we're all meeting after the game and then the big thing now is checking fantasy.

Let's hope the stadium keeps improving, along with the team, as well as other aspects of the organization!

I've honestly quit trying to use any sort of data intensive function on my phone during games. It'd be great to be able to connect to a reliable system.

A bellwether that we've transformed into a new era?

Cool but most phone data plans are not that expensive. I can't recall the last time I used public wifi.

[wanga]

Good news, hopefully I can pick it up from here.

Some people actually enjoy the amenities of modern living and aren't just satisfied with 70s rock and Bud Light, "as God and America intended".

I get 1 bar in the stadium for my verizon phone for some reason so obviously was not an option for me to get on the internet through Verizon
