Seattle Mariners fans sitting in private suites at Safeco Field during games will no longer have to wait for waitstaff to come and take their orders when they want a burger for dinner or another Coke. Now, the suites feature Amazon Alexa, an intelligent personal assistant device that was developed by Amazon and takes requests.
The Amazon Echo with Alexa is installed in 59 suites at the Mariners’ ballpark. In addition to taking people’s orders, the device can get the Mariners’ schedule, play Mariners trivia, change the channel, adjust the television volume and more by using the voice prompt, “Alexa, ask the Mariners to…”
Suite guests are also able to see the live feed from two cameras that coaches and scouts use.
