Wi-Fi in the Ballpark

CNET News' Daniel Terdiman reports today that Nat Bailey Stadium, the ballpark for the minor league Vancouver Canadians, offers "great wireless Internet."

"That's wonderful since I'm on a Road Trip 2006 around the Pacific Northwest and as I look for stories to report and write, it's often tricky to find an Internet connection," Terdiman writes.

Finding Wi-Fi at Nat Bailey, Terdiman says, was something of a surprise considering that this is relatively low-level minor league baseball. In comparison, the Oakland As don't have Wi-Fi for their fans.

"From foul pole to foul pole throughout the concourse, you get a pretty good signal," says Roger Kingkade, the Vancouver Canadians' Director of Media Relations. "We're trying to appeal to a business crowd here... It's an incentive for people to take a day off and come to the park and do a little work, and do a couple of deals and stuff."

"Take note, Oakland," Terdiman writes. "After all, the As have the second-lowest home attendance average in the American Leaguelinks. So if providing free Wi-Fi would bring in a few more fans, maybe it's something to consider."
