Yep, best to bring a good ol' fashion analogue transister radio and
an extra set of bateries. Think about it though, we're dealing with
stuff traveling at the speed of light or faster and then the phone has
to process the information and output in a format that can be
understood. Really interesting, but 75 seconds? Lord, you can get
through 3 pitches in that time if the pitcher works quickly.
Go Rockies!

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!
