High Tech Tailgating Tour Takes Northeast by Storm

The High-tech Tailgating Tour continues its assault on America this week to show the wonders of live national and local TV to TV anchors, newspaper reporters and unsuspecting tailgaters. First stop was Baltimore where NBC 11's Sandra Shaw celebrated Balty's #1 ranking in the "America's Best Football Tailgating Index" during four live morning segments.

OK, so their satellite dish is bigger than ours but can you bring it to the Raven's games?

Then it was on to our nation's capital where the TracVision A7 was featured on three Washington, D.C., network affiliates – NBC 4, ABC 7 and CBS 9 – plus the Washington Times and a national tech feature hosted by ABC News technology correspondent Richard Sergay.

Other stops this week include ABC 6 and NBC 10 in Philly, where anchors were excited about The City of Brotherly Love's tenth-place finish, and Pittsburgh's NBC 11, where reporter Trisha Pittman sang the praises of live in-car TV but lamented why the Steelers fans' tailgating scene at Heinz Field didn't rate higher than 18th. Look for the anything-but-inconspicuous High-tech Tailgating Tour Cadillac Escalade demo vehicle next in Detroit, Cleveland (will Indians fans be celebrating when we get there?), Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Chicago.
