InGameMagic™


InGameMagic
The InGameMagic™ system will allow you to share photos and comments with other fans on your mobile device right from the ballpark. It's a great way for fans to connect during a game, and share views, experiences and thoughts before and after.

Optimized specifically for mobile devices, the service will launch in spring of 2010 to help Twins fans stay connected during the inaugural season of Target Field. There is no charge to use the service (text messaging rates apply).

The InGameMagic™ service will also be available for license to other sports organizations, allowing fans of high school and other local teams of any sport to build community and stay connected before, during and after events. For more information on how to make this service available to your team's players and fans, please write to InGameMagic2010@ballparkmagic.com.

"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring."

I could gaze at this streetscape all day. It isn't perfect, but as a model for Minneapolis, I love it. (Except the Biff, of course. Click to enlarge.)

Bag checking at Ball Park Lanes was incredibly simple, as was the pick up later. The line was short and fast-moving.

Yankee Stadium

"I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us."

– Walt Whitman

"You talk about the magic, the aura, but what really makes a stadium is the fans. Concrete doesn't talk back to you. Chairs don't talk back to you. It's the people who are there, day in, day out, that makes the place magic."

– Bernie Williams
