Chiefs adding wifi network at Arrowhead
http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/article...8-43f908628021
Chiefs Launch Mobile App & Arrowhead Wi-Fi The Chiefs are bringing fans another way that will enhance the game day experience at Arrowhead Stadium. Starting this Sunday, Wi-Fi will be available in the stadium, along with a new mobile application connecting fans to the team and to each other. “Our fans told us that we needed to add this element to their game day experience and we listened,” Bill Chapin, Chiefs Senior Vice President of Business Operations explained. As part of the massive installation project, 600 wireless access points were installed throughout the stadium. Wi-Fi will be available to all fans attending the game under the name “Arrowhead Wi-Fi.” “Everybody loves their mobile device. They all bring it to the stadium, I do the same thing,” Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt explained. “We felt it was important to get Wi-Fi in the building so fans could use their mobile devices in the stadium. This initiative will add to the fan experience this year and help give the fans the best game day experience.” The Chiefs are also unveiling the Chiefs Mobile App, which can be downloaded through Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Market for Android devices. While inside Arrowhead Stadium, this App will allow fans to watch instant replays from multiple camera angles and also see “under-the-hood” replays that cannot be seen anywhere else. In addition, NFL Red Zone will be available; giving fans the chance to check in on all the action from around the NFL. For more information on the app click here. “This year, at the first regular season game, we will have a full Wi-Fi system in the stadium. Plus, with the Chiefs Mobile App, you will have instant replays on your device. You can watch the NFL Red Zone and track your fantasy football team in stadium,” Chiefs President Mark Donovan noted. This is just the first step in an ongoing process. The organization will continue to make adjustments to further enhance the fan experience by boosting connectivity inside Arrowhead Stadium. You, the fans, play a key role in assuring those adjustments best-fit fan needs. “With the new system, we know that over the first few weeks, there will be many things that we will be testing and tweaking to reach optimal performance,” Donovan said. “This adjustment phase could take multiple weeks. As we always do, we’re asking fans to interact with the system and provide feedback so that we can make accurate and timely decisions to ensure everyone has a great in-stadium mobile experience.” For fans attending the game on Sunday, be sure to download the Chiefs Mobile App and try out the new Wi-Fi at Arrowhead Stadium this week. Fans with feedback on the new Arrowhead Wi-Fi network can email customerrelations@kcchiefs.com. |

I know I'm a tech geek, but that sounds really cool. The ability to watch Red Zone is a particularly nice touch.

Must be a huge undertaking.

That is awesome. As someone who uses Sprint for mobile phone/data, I always thought it was ludicrous that in a stadium that Sprint sponsors and has a ginormous billboard in... that Sprint service there was always awful.

I'll bet Sprint had a hand in the wifi and it will suck too.

I hate Sprint. We switched from T-Mobile in 2011 due to a family discount and it's just been garbage. The family member left earlier this year, so our bill increased $10 per month, which was fine. But just today, I was notified that we no longer qualify, so it's back to T-Mobile, which totally kicked ass.

So people are going be missing around on wifi instead of giving themselves a brain aneurysm yelling when we are on defense? This isn't good we need Arrowhead as loud as possible when we are on defense people.

It'll definitely be used sparingly by yours truly. I go to games to watch the games...but I like the replay idea and the under the hood thing...

T-Mobile put in a tower at Lake Hollywood, so the signal is excellent. I was also able to make calls through our wireless network in the home, which is a service that isn't available through Sprint. They shipped us this big, ugly contraption in order to make wireless calls but it kept losing signal and knocked out our wireless connection. No offense to Sprint employees but the service is awful in SoCal. |

Too bad they didn't do this last year...could have added a pre-game "Banner Cam" that showed all the festivities from above.
In all seriousness, that's pretty cool. |
