NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Comcast Business today announced that the NFL’s Tennessee Titans have equipped LP Field with a redundant 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) Ethernet Dedicated Internet connection as part of a series of technology advancements that will offer fans Wi-Fi for the first time. With connectivity throughout the stadium, tech-savvy fans can upload photos, monitor fantasy football statistics, or check scores from their smartphones. The solution also prepares the team for future demand as Comcast’s fiber connections can easily scale up to 10 Gbps.

The sports industry is focused on creating unique fan experiences through new, modern stadiums with compelling amenities, ranging from comfortable seats to gourmet food and giant HD video scoreboards. As part of that trend, reliable, high-speed Wi-Fi access in stadiums has quickly emerged as a critical amenity given that the national adoption rate of smartphones exceeds 55 percent. In addition to fans’ other mobile apps and services, the Comcast Ethernet Dedicated Internet service and Wi-Fi access puts fans in control of the action through the Titans’ official mobile application, available for iOS, Android and Blackberry smartphones. The app allows viewers to review multiple camera angles on any given play, access Red Zone coverage of all ongoing games, and enjoy exclusive video, news and other Titans-related content.

“Being a diehard sports fan involves more than just watching your favorite team in person – it means being able to access the information you desire, when you want it, at your fingertips,” said Russ Hudson, Director, Information Systems of the Tennessee Titans. “Our fans not only want to watch and support the team on the field, but also desire to see a close-up of that diving catch or game-saving tackle from their smartphone, and Comcast Business is playing an instrumental role in meeting these demands. The connection was easy to install and feedback from our fans couldn’t be more positive about the new Wi-Fi access.”
