Dive Insight:

As Major League Baseball replaces outdated stadiums, modern ballparks are increasingly equipped with all the comforts of a 21st century home: wi-fi access, digital scoreboards, and enormous high-definition video screens. Many teams that are not building new stadiums are retrofitting their existing parks to incorporate more technology as fans demand uninterrupted use of their smartphones and tablets—even when the batter’s up.
