Yankees Don't Want You to Miss Any of the Action, Even When Peeing

While I certainly don't like the Yankees, some of the lengths they're going to in order to make their stadium top notch are quite impressive. I always wondered why more stadiums didn't have TV screens in the bathroom.

The technological prowess acquired by the Yankees includes the ability to program 1,100 flat-panel, high-definition TV monitors with live game coverage, archival and highlight video, statistics, promotional messages and weather and traffic updates.

The monitors will be located at concession stands, inside the 59 luxury and party suites, around the restaurants and bars, and in restrooms. They are designed to surround fans visually from the moment they walk into the stadium, especially when they stray from a direct view of the field. The team will be its own video puppeteer, controlling all the monitors centrally with the capabilities of offering different content on each one.

Also, could you imagine if you could order crab fries from you cell phone. Scary.

@HC12:

As if the suit wearing NY dbags who pay 500 for a single ticket are actually there to watch the game as opposed to sucking up to their boss or company?

Way to go, Yankees. Destroying real baseball one step at a time....though the screens in the bathroom, I got to give them props on that. I've always wanted one of those.
