Yankee Stadium Bans the iPad

Another day, another bunch of tech-oblivious twats running everything.
It's no worse then any other piece of technology.

OT: I'm bringing a netbook and suing the shit out of them if they take it.
And yes, I'll adapt the line from Braveheart for the situation.
It probably creates a liability for theft or damage.
Too often are organizations held responsible for personal idiocy. They could also put up signs that say "Yankee Stadium is not responsible for theft or damage to any personal property on the premises"; but that gets sticky quick, it is much easier to say "it's not allowed" and then you can't be held responsible if it breaks in here because it wasn't meant to be there in the first place.

And another law-oblivious one running his mouth.GamingAwesome1 said:
It's banned because it's a liability issue for parkowners.
The only time I've been to a baseball game was to see the astros in 1999. The only thing that kept me entertained was the over priced beer and the company I was with. I can understand people wanting to take their own entertainment, baseball is the most boring of the American sports.
It was the only sport I couldn't take to while living there.

They dont want people transmiting the games or they dont want to get sued if someone trips and let his/her ipad fall
Man you guys never even thought of the obvious! They are banning ipads for the fear of the sunlight reflecting off thousands of them, therefore opening up the seal that they threw captain planet in. Allowing captain planet to continue his mission to remove all humans from the face of the earth to save it, allowing 2012 to take it's course. Jeez guys read between the lines!
Doesn't the "we are not held responsible for personal items being stolen, vandalised etc." rule go in place? If they bring it, hey, why not; if they break it it's not the stadium's fault. Kind of a stupid rule, it should be a warning rather than a banning.
EDIT: Never mind, the dude above me convinced me otherwise.

The laptop ban is pretty dumb, since some fans will inevitably be coming to the game from work. When you live in a borough that isn't The Bronx and work in Manhattan, then you don't have the time to go home and drop your stuff if you want to make an evening game.
Way to undercut potential ticket sales.
