A
thletes
turn
to
tech
to
improve
their
skills. Teams and leagues use tech
to make the games more fair. Are-
nas, stadiums, and fields are also packed with
technology. Any stadium worth its popcorn
has Wi-Fi for every fan, along with video score-
boards that provide crystal-clear replays and
highlights. Fans in some stadiums have mini-
monitors at their seats where they can choose
video feeds, camera angles, or even play trivia
games. Locker rooms at many modern arenas
are wired to the teeth, with individual screens
in each locker for players to study video (or
play a video game). Any venue in which sports
are played is now a hotbed of technology.
