As someone said earlier, this is a streaming thing. My son plays arena
football, and the other night there was so much electrical interference that
I could not hear the radio in the arena. I logged onto the station's web
site and streamed on the iPhone, and, though the sound quality was beyond
great, the delay was a good fifteen seconds or so. thus, the crowd was
cheering, and I had to wait for the 15-second replay. I think this is a
natural function of streaming over the web, but I do wiswh it could be
resolved.

Subject: Horrible Experience with MLB At Bat
Not strictly access related, but I went to a pro ball game yesterday in
Cincinnati. This didn't occur to me beforehand, but when I tuned in the San
Francisco feed, the lag was almost 75 seconds. This was on 3G. They did not
have WIFI in the park.
Okay, I guess there is a lot going on there, so I can't fault the app too
much. So, I switched to the Cincinnati radio broadcast. And, for a baseball
game, they kept the 7-second delay in place. Real smart! What, they don't
trust their broadcasters or sponsors not to say poo-poo on air?
After a play, I waited the 7 seconds for the description, but that was
drowned out by the PA system with the next batter, etc.
Sheesh!
So, if you plan to enjoy a game at a ballpark, you may want to decide just
to enjoy sitting in uncomfortable seats in heat or cold or wet with very
loud people very apt to spill on you. It can be a wonderful experience!
