ABSTRACT
This paper looks at the potential for mobile technology that targets sports spectators. Preliminary survey results from 83 college sports fans suggest the current usage of mobile technology, like location-based services, when attending games. Findings offer insight as to the expectations and concerns of fans and inform the design for a social, local mobile application.
