I was just wondering if a guy brought his laptop to tailgate if he could find a wireless network to check out the volleyball results and other things. I haven't tried in years, but there was none available the last time I brought a computer with me.
:radar:
Does anyone have a cell phone?
You seriously would put your laptop in jeopardy like that? :huh:
Buy an iPhone, LG Dare, or whatever your network's internet phone is, get the unlimited data package, and surf that way at games...

Also had issues connecting with my phone trying to get updated scores. I think the service was ok, just a flooded network.
Maybe, but I'm also thinking bringing a several hundred to several thousand dollar laptop into an environment with thousands of screaming and jumping fans isn't exactly the world's greatest idea. Plus, several of those thousands of fans are potentially students or other shady figures that are looking for new equipment and/or beer money...Quote:

There are many items of value in most people's tailgate supplies. So what's the big deal with adding a laptop to the list? I've brought it before, but not to access the Internet. I wasn't planning to bring it inside the stadium.Quote:

The little bus station in the parking lot has a WAP. But you need to have an ISU login.
Get a mobile broadband card.
Or tethering from your cell phone.
That is what I would do as well, but as others have stated cell service isn't the greatest on game days with all the people around using phonesQuote:
