New York, NY – This weekend is an exciting one here in NYC – the Subway Series comes to Citi Field. The matchup is between the Mets and the Yankees. Naturally the Yankees will prevail and Mets fans will, once again, wonder if their team will hit .500 for the season. If you are an iPad owner, you should be able to bring your device to the game.

However if you are planning to attend a Yankees home game at Yankee Stadium, leave that iPad at home! The security policies page notes that laptops are not allowed inside Yankee Stadium along with any video equipment. Apparently Yankees Stadium officials have decided that the iPad poses a safety risk. Additional banned devices are those that, “…may interfere with and/or distract any sports participant, other patron, audio or audio/visual telecast or recording of the game or any technology-related service provided in Yankee Stadium.”
Apparently iPads are welcome at Fenway Park, home of the Boston RedSox. I guess with the quality of baseball the RedSox are playing these days, you probably need something to keep yourself occupied.
With today’s announcement of Google TV and all the discussion about the convergence of media platforms, one might think the MLB would want devices like the iPad to be used while at the game. How awesome would it be to have a live stats and chat app to discuss the game with others at the stadium. If NASCAR can do it, why not baseball?
Ridiculous!
wasn’t there a tumult a few weeks ago, when Israel didn’t allow the use of I-pads because they said it disrupted some cellphones
I don’t think the rules are heavily enforced. People are always videoing games.
now i understand why tex is struggling and arod’s numbers are down. its all those ipads messing with their swings. the signals of the ipads are definitly messing up vasquez’s pitches.
yes, i now get it.
Jeter has paskened no internet at the Stadium
What happens with phones with cameras?
The mets Prevailed!
Bahaimas with sticks. A bitul zman l’chatchila. To attend a game is the same as attending a Hellenistic spectikle. There should be an issur on this.
Additional banned devices are those that, “…may interfere with and/or distract any sports participant, other patron, audio or audio/visual telecast or recording of the game or any technology-related service provided in Yankee Stadium.
So they should ban CELLPHONES which are an AUDIO distraction!
what is this shtus of going to baseball games [chas v’shalom] what is an arod and vaskuez open a gemara and talk about r’eliyashiv youre a bunch of goyim who cares if some chamor is getting milions of dollars. whatever money youre spending on your “team” just give to tzedakah. look what we have come to.
So now u can see how d rabbonim who said no cels in shul were ahead of their times, instead of what the low life’s complained that the Rabbi is too strict u now find yourself that he was way advanced for his time, they gave d isur years before the yankees came on board with this “distraction” thing, learn from the goyim and make d shul a place of respect and kdushe, if you are not up to praying let another yid who wants be able to, think about it, with all that klal yisroel is going thru we need every single tfilah,
To all mets fans… Stop asking for a issur to go to games… It will happen by itself for you guys… Yankee fans rock on!
The Yanks are a form of Avoda Zara!
any “chusid” should rather talk about Yankees and Mets than talking about “chasidishe politics”. There is definitely an issur on Loshon Hora. So in my opinion Go Yankees!!!!!!
