If you’re like thousands of other gasoline-blooded Hoosiers, May 28 isn’t just another Sunday.
It’s Race Day.
Every year, the Indy 500 is watched by gearheads around the world. At XFINITY, we couldn’t be more excited to watch the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
In fact, we love all sports. That’s why we’ve unleashed a full slate of products and services to let our subscribers get the most from their game-watching and tailgating experiences.
As usual, this year’s Indy 500 will draw a huge crowd. If you’re going to the race, that could mean hours just getting to the speedway and finding a parking spot, then more time waiting for the green flag.
If you’re going to the track this year, start early and plan for downtime. Seasoned race-goers know the basics. Sunblock? Check. Cooler? Check. Hotdogs? Check.
But what about entertainment?
Whether you’re watching laps at the speedway, or catching fly balls at Victory Field, XFINITY knows what loyal sports fanatics want.
This summer, get in the game by taking advantage of these features.
XFINITY Stream app
Heading to this year’s big event? With the XFINITY Stream app, you can take your favorite shows and movies on the go. The app lets you download your own DVR content as well as thousands of titles from our OnDemand library directly to your smartphone, laptop or tablet.
Because there’s no WiFi or data required, you won’t have to compete for a signal with the thousands of other fans at the speedway. Instead, you’ll be catching up on The Walking Dead or This Is Us while waiting for the race to start. Just remember to download the XFINITY Stream app before you leave home.
XFINITY Stream also lets you livestream content without being chained to your TV while on WiFi or connected to a 4G network. With access to more than 100 live channels, including ESPN and ABC, it’s another great option for watching a sports event when you’re not in front of the TV.
XFINITY WiFi Hotspots app
Even if you’re leaving the house to watch the race at your local watering hole, you shouldn’t have to use all your data to check news and statistics. With XFINITY service, you can take advantage of the more than 80,000 XFINITY WiFi hotspots around Indiana and 16 million hotspots nationwide.
To find and connect to hotspots in your area, download the XFINITY WiFi Hotspots app. The app automatically connects you to XFINITY hotspots wherever you go.
Check out this tool to find hotspots near you.
XFINITY X1 Sports for TV
Watching from home? XFINITY X1 knows real fans want to be in the know about everything going on in the world of sports. The X1 Sports app gives you that power.
X1 Sports integrates a second screen onto your main TV screen, so you can keep your eye on the game while checking the second screen for current team standings, live stats, shot percentages, team fouls and win probability. You’ll also be able to get schedules and scores for NASCAR and other professional sports, along with team rosters showing each player’s points and fouls, a recap of scoring plays (great for fantasy sports players) and more. You can even personalize the XFINITY Sports experience by adding or removing your favorite teams anytime you want.
Now, the only thing left to do is impress your friends with all the new sports statistics you’ve learned.
Of course, you can also use your X1 system to record games and watch them later via your DVR. Just don’t let your friends tell you who wins before you have a chance to watch.
Ready for all the action this summer? We are.
With XFINITY, you’ll stay in the know wherever you go. And, remember to follow @XFINITY on Twitter for all the latest sports news and information.
