A lot of the work you do [for a baseball team] is not as glamorous as people would think and not as directly related to play on the field. This is a project where my staff gets to interact with the coaches and players, so they really enjoy it.

People around here are more wired than most people are and understand technology better. So I'd say there's more of a demand for [high-tech] here than at some other parks, ... We actually have had suite-holders ask, 'We do have modem access out of our suites, right?' .

We're not in the heart of Silicon Valley, but we're just north of it, ... We really want to use technology as much as we can in the ballpark in innovative, creative ways, but we don't want to just do it to be hokey or for technology's sake. We really wanted to use it to enhance the fan experience, yet at the same time preserve the old-time feel of the ballpark.

We talked earlier this year with some sponsors who were thinking about providing all of our suites with computers -- laptops or something small -- to give people the ability to access stats and whatever else they might want to do while they're here.
