Fans have been pleased to hear that Busch Stadium is going to have full Wi-Fi connectivity this baseball season.

But it's not here yet.

Perry Yee, the Cardinals' director of information technology, said the stadium will have full Wi-Fi service later this month, or in May.

Yee said any improvements noticed by fans Monday was due to improvements that several local carriers have made in the last year.

Connectivity has already been improved in the MLB press boxes, Yee said of one part of Major League Baseball's $300 million project to improve cellular and internet service at all 30 MLB parks.

Yee said one stalling point is that MLB design models for Busch Stadium have not always taken into account the consistent size of Busch crowds. "A Tuesday crowd here can be like a playoff game somewhere else."

Yee said all parties involved in the project understand the importance.

"Internet connectivity is a basic, a given," he said, adding that the fundamentals of community life used to be "water and power."

"Now," he said, "it's water, power and Wi-Fi."
