There's already buzz building in Silicon Valley for the new Niners stadium being constructed in Santa Clara, as the team is already out front saying the facility will be an example of how to do stadium technology right.

Sports Illustrated and Instagram team up on NFL Preseason Camp Photos
Ever wonder what a preseason NFL camp looks like? There are always plenty of reports on the players but if a photographer accompanies a reporter there may be two photos, at most, to accompany the article. Now Sports Illustrated has taken a step in providing a better image for fans by promoting images, 20 in all, along with columnist Peter King’s report from the camps in the Aug. 20 issue Read More>>
Athletepath Debuts Race Tracking App at Hood to Coast Relay
The other day a friend went zipping past my house setting what looked to be a pretty good pace and he ran down my gravel, pot hole stricken street and away he went around the corner and up the hill. When I ran into him later in the weekend he said that he was just on a 10 mile run in preparation for the annual Hood to Coast Relay. It turns out that a number of friends and acquaintances are Read More>>
Intel Extreme Masters Video Game Tournament Crowns New Champions
There was a championship tournament, the Intel Extreme Masters, which I would have loved to have participated in, ten years ago. Unfamiliar with the IEM? So was I until I stumbled upon a report about the video game tournament held in Cologne, Germany.

Verizon Kills Free NFL Mobile, Now Charging $5 per Month
Last year when Verizon was heavily promoting its new 4G LTE network, football fans who bought new smartphones that used the network got a great benefit: Free access to Verizon's NFL Moble app and its limited schedule of live coverage, including Thursday night, Sunday night and Monday night games. But without any fanfare -- and without any visible information, until you load the app and try to Read More>>
Watching NASCAR: The Sprint Cup Heads to Michigan
Remember earlier this season there were complaints about dull races and that NASCAR should make some rule changes to bring excitement back? Seems like a long time ago, and was pushed further from memory with the tremendous race and finish last week at Watkins Glen. Three abreast on a road track? I guess anything can happen and it did so on the last lap as Kyle Busch, Marcos Ambrose and Brad Read More>>
