How about suggesting to your bosses to keep the professional entertainers off the field and out of football. When I want to go to a concert, I'll go. Now these schmuks are going to keep me from listening to our pre-game show on my headset.

Agreed 100% Skorp.

That coupled with the fact that 3 dorks down SUCKS BEYOND DESCRIPTION!!!

The only time I've thought this was cool was before our very first regular season home game and the Black Eyed Peas performed. I wasn't excited about that performance either, but they were actually really cool. They closed with; "Let's get it started" and the place was rockin! Pluse Fergie was there.... *drifts off into a sweet daydream.

 

[Jersey Girl]

I like the shows. Kinda like an added bonus.

Those schmucks are not performing during pregame so you should be fine.

3 Doors Down suck but who cares its the Playoffs!

 

[Duckjake]

Aren't 3 Doors Down, Nickelback, Creed, and Hinder really the same band?



Don't worry about Skorp Jim O he's just a grumpy old Car*inal fan who spent too much time in the parking lot at SDS.

But maybe you can answer the question about the big deal made about WiFi in the UPS and yet now laptops are banned.

But maybe you can answer the question about the big deal made about WiFi in the UPS and yet now laptops are banned.

Only thing I can figure is that the network was never intended to be there for the fans. I am certain that media types are allowed laptops, and they are the ones the network was designed for and benefits.

I recall my friend, a sports reporter, "filing" his stories to an out of town paper, right from the stadium via his laptop. He used to have to transcribe his articles to someone over the phone.

Edit: I almost forgot - the network in the stadium does work, my son has WiFi on his phone and can use it inside the stadium. So I suppose if you "smuggled" a laptop in, you could use it.
