What if Wrigley Field was a giant hotspot and there was an application on your phone that enabled you to see the replay immediately -- at nearly the same speed as the jumbotron?
Have Cubs Wrigley app launched already. Press the "instant replay" button. Boom.
That isn't available now, of course, but neither is a jumbrotron.
That 15 seconds of getting my phone out of my pocket would suck, but so would having a giant eyesore invading the purity of the ballpark all game long. At least with the phone you have the option of putting it away.

I would rather watch it on a gigantic screen than watch it on my tiny iPhone screen. Plus I would have the pleasure of watching it with other people instead of everyone around me trying to look over my shoulder at my phone.

Yeah, not to mention the audio from other people's devices would drive me nuts. I'm for the jumbotron. People on their phones is one of the worst part of a game, period. Encouraging them to be more active with their phones while at the ballpark sounds terrible. If they want to put little screens on the back of every seat, great. Hand-held devices of any kind are hard to picture working though.
