DURHAM BULLS
ANNOUNCE NEW MOBILE APP, UPGRADED STADIUM WI-FI
“MiLB Inside the Park” App and
Frontier Communications-Powered Wi-Fi
to Enhance In-Stadium Experience at
Newly Renovated Durham Bulls Athletic Park
DURHAM, NC – The International League Champion Durham Bulls today announce a brand new mobile app and improved Wi-Fi capability for the 2014 season. The “MiLB Inside the Park” application specifically focuses on enhancing fans’ experience within Durham Bulls Athletic Park, providing visitors with an ability to interact with game entertainment elements, team social media accounts, and stadium maps on game day. To better serve “Inside the Park” users and mobile activity throughout the DBAP, the Bulls have partnered with Frontier Communications on a comprehensive upgrade to the stadium’s Wi-Fi system.
Available in both the iOS App
Store and on Google
Play, the MiLB Inside the Park app provides fans with an inning-by-inning
feed of all entertainment, game information, contests, and special offers. The
app includes an interactive map of the newly renovated DBAP, which allows
visitors to explore new concessions areas and view menus available at each location.
Fans can earn points and climb a virtual leaderboard within the app by
interacting with Bulls social media accounts and other fun activities, like
voting for the winner of the Bull Durham race. Inside the Park also
provides access to live replays of game highlights, the promotional events
schedule, and ticket purchasing links. The new ballpark-focused app serves as a
companion to the MiLB First Pitch app, which provides fans with in-depth team
stats and the live Gameday pitch-by-pitch tracker. To download the app, simply
search for “MiLB Inside the Park” and select Durham Bulls as your preferred
team.
Frontier Communications, the
official Wi-Fi provider at the DBAP, customized the stadium’s new wireless
network to help support unique in-game features, particularly the ability to
provide live, high quality replays on mobile devices. Frontier’s team of nearly
200 Durham-based employees will provide the equipment and backhaul capacity for
the Wi-Fi network, as well as 24 hour support for end users.
“There’s nothing like a game at
Durham Bulls Athletic Park,” said Bulls General Manager Mike Birling. “Our new
app serves to enrich that experience, and with Wi-Fi connectivity that is
unparalleled in Minor League Baseball, fans will be able to interact with us on
game day like never before.”
