New York Yankees Choose Lumen to Power Game-Day Connectivity, Data Resilience, and the Fan Experience<\/b><\/p>\n

Programmable network links Yankee Stadium to a new Tampa data center, scaling on demand from Opening Day to the postseason<\/i><\/p>\n

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nThe New York Yankees selected Lumen Technologies<\/a> (NYSE: LUMN) to run the network behind one of the most recognized brands in sports, connecting Yankee Stadium and the team’s facilities in Tampa, Florida, and carrying everything from security and game video to fan internet traffic. As part of the move, the Yankees relocated their primary data center out of Yankee Stadium into a new, purpose-built Tampa facility engineered to withstand 200 mph sustained winds, stronger than any hurricane on record in the Atlantic Basin.<\/p>\n

\n“Live sports are one of the clearest examples of how real-time demand is reshaping industries,” said Ryan Asdourian, chief strategy and marketing officer of Lumen Technologies. “The Yankees understand that success today depends not just on what happens on the field, but on the systems behind every decision, every play, and every fan interaction. We’re proud to give them a network that holds up under pressure and scales with their ambition.”<\/p>\n

\nLumen connects the Tampa data center to Yankee Stadium over two separate 100-gigabit fiber paths, one routed through New York and one through New Jersey, both terminating in Tampa. One path carries live traffic; the second stays on standby and takes over automatically without data loss if the first is disrupted. Because the two paths are independent, the Yankees can always remain connected between New York and Tampa.<\/p>\n

\n“With automatic failover, we can lose our entire central office and still maintain connectivity to the Tampa data center,” said Erron Pettry, senior manager of data center facilities operations for the New York Yankees. \u201cThe Yankees cannot go offline, and having Lumen\u2019s infrastructure safeguards our operations.”<\/p>\n

\nThe network also flexes with demand. Rather than paying year-round for a peak data-rate the team hits only a few times a season, Lumen\u2019s Network-as-a-Service enables the Yankees to add or shed capacity as needed by the event and pay only for what they use, freeing budget for other priorities.<\/p>\n
