If your definition of a few years is 25 years, I agree. However, for the general public, that ain't happening anytime soon.

25 years?! I wasn't suggesting abandoning public transportation and automobiles for hovercrafts.
We're practically there already. If there's a way (and I'm sure there is) to make Wrigley a giant hotspot, most people who go to Cubs games would already have this capability. The MLB app on my iPhone does all of that already -- the only problem is the drag on the network.
