VenueNext adds Yankee Stadium, AT&T Stadium as app clients

VenueNext, the company built to develop the Levi’s Stadium app for the San Francisco 49ers, announced two new customers today, venues that are leading icons in their respective sports: Yankee Stadium, home of the New York Yankees, and AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.

Details are a little slim right now, but the formal announcement was made on stage at the Web Summit Tuesday in Dublin, Ireland, where VenueNext CEO John Paul and Niners CEO Jed York (who is also the chairman of VenueNext) jointly announced the news. According to a blog post on its site, VenueNext is now a “strategic partner” with Legends Hospitality, a provider of turnkey venue operations whose clients include the Yankees and the Cowboys. VenueNext said some elements of its technology are already being used in the AT&T Stadium app this season, including parking directions and instant replays of on-field action. In-seat food ordering and delivery, one of the more innovative features developed by VenueNext for the Levi’s Stadium app, is not yet available at AT&T Stadium, however.

More details to come, including whether or not this means that Yankee Stadium will finally be getting Wi-Fi, since the Bronx icon was one of just two MLB venues (Baltimore is the other one) without fan-facing Wi-Fi.
