WaitTime is a new up and coming app that has a sole purpose of letting fans know how long lines for concessions or rest rooms around an arena or stadium are. The Detroit Pistons are the first major sports team to fully embrace this new technology. Not only can fans view the wait times through the phone app, but there are also 30 signs located around the seating sections that get updated in real time. The app is one of a kind based on how in depth it is and the fact that it is not limited to only mobile phone users. I believe WaitTime will become very popular after this trial run with the Pistons and will eventually become a staple at events across the country.

ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting. I also happened to write about the new technology being used in Detroit. I feel as if the usage of WaitTime is going to greatly enhance the customer satisfaction rating that a team like Detroit ( who isn't very good consistently) needs. Great post Mr. Batzel!
ReplyDeleteI think this app is going to pop up not only in more NBA arenas but also NFL stadiums and MLB fields. Really cool app.
