How Comcast’s booming wifi and community investment made Atlanta’s MLB All-Star celebration unstoppable
Atlanta, Georgia — The pulse of baseball’s biggest week beat from the heart of the Battery Atlanta, as Truist Park buzzed with electric energy for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. But the city’s unforgettable celebration wasn’t driven by baseball alone. Enter stage left: Comcast and Xfinity, whose game-changing connectivity powered every moment—and drew major buzz with a colossal show of hometown pride.
Xfinity’s Grand Slam at The Battery
The scene was set even before the first pitch. Two massive banners wrapped Comcast’s Central Division headquarters at The Battery, proclaiming the power of Xfinity’s booming WiFi and industry-leading 99.9% reliability.
Comcast’s visible commitment is matched by substance: over 800 employees headquartered at The Battery and $3.1 billion invested in Georgia to supercharge connectivity from downtown Atlanta to communities statewide.
Community First: Lifting Fans Everywhere
- Lift Zones: More than 10 Xfinity Lift Zones provided free WiFi at community centers all across Georgia. Whether fans enjoyed the All-Star festivities at The Battery, a local rec center, or at home, Xfinity delivered fast, reliable access—bridging the digital divide as surely as it bridges stadium sections with seamless coverage.
- These Lift Zones fuel not just gameday excitement, but also digital equity—helping families year-round with homework, skills training, and more.
Supercharged Fan Experience—On and Off the Field
- No Signal Left Behind: Every selfie snapped inside Truist Park, every video posted from a Battery restaurant, and every stat checked while waiting in line was powered by Comcast Business’s robust network. With hundreds of high-speed WiFi access points and two 100 Gbps connections, The Battery Atlanta became one of the nation’s most wired entertainment districts—letting fans share every homer, every joke, every celebration, live.
- Even local businesses and hotels benefited, as visitors experienced world-class digital amenities throughout the action-packed weekend.
Atlanta’s Unique Energy: Sports, Music, and Technology Collide
The All-Star energy was amped up by Atlanta itself—where the synergy of music and baseball was everywhere. Hip hop icon Jermaine Dupri’s playlists thumped through the ballpark, and Braves legend Javy Lopez’s legacy was celebrated, all while fans traded memories online in real time.
Xfinity helped make the citywide party possible, amplifying every cheer, every play, and every moment of Atlanta’s All-Star Week. The message on those banners at The Battery said it all: Xfinity is BOOMING—the WiFi is booming, and so is Atlanta’s all-star spirit.
