Wow that would make for an exciting game with no fans in the stadium.

I mean all you need is a cell phone, with a cell phone you can text to anyone, tweet, post to facebook & blog, take pictures and video. Are they really crazy enough to ban cell phones? That will not even stop fans from specking or communicating, that is like trying to stop a stampede. Good luck to them, but while I understand that they have an exclusive deal with media companies ESPN and CBS and want them to get it out first, its not right to restrict the fans so much...no pictures, no video, no tweets, no blogging, no texts...your restricting the media coverage of your event, its not the fans fault that they get things out faster then the tradional media does, welcome to the new age.

I understand the intent, but are they going to confiscate every cell-phone or mobile device that enters the arena/stadium? Are there going to be "police" patrolling looking for people texting? And then how will they know if it's someone setting up a movie date vs "illegal fan action". It's crazy. If anything, people tweeting and facebooking can LEND to the excitement of a live game and possibly make people want to attend. It’s a little crazy to think they can even CONSIDER that kind of a ban.
