Stadium Safety Companion
A venue-specific live companion that tells baseball fans, in plain language, what's happening during unexpected incidents at the ballpark — fireworks malfunctions, weather, medical events, ejections — with the closest exits marked.
Minor-league and MLB fans attending games with families who want trusted info when something goes wrong
- Real-time 'what's happening now' feed sourced from team channels, verified on-scene reports, and credible fan video
- Section-aware exit map that highlights the closest safe routes based on your ticketed seat
- Post-incident debrief: official statement, what was confirmed vs. disputed (e.g., 'was the show terminated immediately?'), and a place to file a first-person account
- Family check-in pulse: one tap pings your group with your seat location and a 'stay/seek exit' status
The Richmond Flying Squirrels fireworks malfunction at CarMax Park shows how confusing in-stadium incidents are — fans couldn't tell chaos from choreography, and the operator's official statement conflicted with multiple videos from the stands.

Incidents — weather, medical, fireworks, security — happen at every ballpark every season.
Needs venue integrations and a vetted contributor model; buildable but not trivial.
