Reds Score Big on Social Media on #OpeningDay

On one of Baseball's biggest days of the year, the Cincinnati Reds unveiled a new area to their concourse, a social media zone. When you step into the Reds Connect Zone you are placed in front of 25 screens featuring online reactions to the game, pictures of people watching from home or in the stands, and in game promotional polls and contest.

Throughout a game, the screens will feature Tweets, Instagrams, and Vines from Reds fans along with other majors players, like the MLB or ESPN. Free wifi is offered in the zone as well as phone charging stations (a major plus for someone like me who drains their battery at sporting events).

If I were working with a team in any of the major leagues, I would start working on getting a social media zone ASAP.
