My guess is the size is super annoying when people use them to take photos.
Most of the current iPhones are 12MP and at least 1080p. The current iPad are 8mp and 1080p.

But I agree smart phone and tablet recording at events has gotten out of hand and I see why some artists are coming up with ways to stop their use.

Yep.... Arkansas missed a routine pop fly in the 9th that would have given them the national championship.

13th straight year with 300,000 or more fans.

Apparently I29 Northbound was a line of Arkansas Cars yesterday. If they all stick around, it could be another big attendance game tonight.


Definitely have to credit Arkansas for the large crowds. This might end up the most lucrative CWS Omaha has ever hosted. Wiith the championship going 3 games, the series extended by one day, Arkansas providing the championship series with more than most out of town fans, plus all those fans spending extra time downtown early in the series during rain delays causing addiditional spending (I know I did).

I thought it was great for Omaha you had almost 22k downtown Saturday night for the CWS and over 8k at Werner for the Chasers.

Crazy game, going from expecting a dog pile from Arkansas to a game 3 in minutes. One of the best CWS games I have seen.

I agree, I didn't get to watch most of the game but saw the last 2 innings. What a swing of momentum.

Lucky enough to be there, I was hoping for an Arkansas win to hear that awesome crowd they brought erupt. Can't complain too much about a 2 out 9th inning go ahead homer though!

It is amazing you never see security arrive.
