AT&T and the Atlanta Braves to Offer Free Wi-Fi at Turner Field

I had the pleasure today of attending the joint AT&T/Atlanta Braves press conference at Turner Field.

One thing I learned was that customers have been asking for improved mobile broadband coverage at Turner Field as they are at many large event venues.

Well, they are getting that and also free Wi-Fi in the coming months as AT&T is partnering up with the Braves on this task.

Derek Schiller, Atlanta Braves Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing says this will improve the all-around fan experience at Turner Field and I agree with him.

Expect to see more iPads and smartphones running the MLB At Bat app this year.  Fans can follow the game live and enhance their enjoyment with their mobile device.

AT&T is really ramping up their service, especially in the State of Georgia, and in my opinion it was pretty good already.  A good job by both organizations.

And how often do you get the chance to stand by home plate and in the dugout at a Major League Ballpark.  And yes, the grass at Turner Field is the nicest I've ever seen.
