Oakland A’s New Ballpark to be Tech’d Out

Here is a tidbit for you sports and technology junkies out there (like me). The Oakland Athletics (see: baseball) are having a new ballpark built in Fremont, California. Cisco Systems will be the primary funder of said ballpark, so you can expect some high tech features in this ballpark.

Some of the crazy high-techness include electronic tickets stored on cellphones, immediate instant replays from the bleachers via laptops, Wi-Fi access and digital advertising displays that change based upon buying habits of people walking by. Better watch out, your wife may not know that you enjoy buying fetish porn, but these ad displays will.
