In a few hours, we will be at Citi Field for the first event there when St. Johns takes on Georgetown.

We plan on trying out our newest foray as 21st century digital boyslive streaming from Citi Field via the "Qik" application on our HTC Touch Pro smartphone.

For more about Qik, you can head over to the site.

We really think this can serve a great purpose for a blog, like Stadium Insider. Of course, the video will be choppy at first, but as wi-fi networks expand and mobile Internet speeds increase, the quality will continue to improve.

We don't expect great things from this right away, but it will be fun to be able to stream what we are checking out at the new ballparks while our readers are at home watching on the Web.

The latest video will always be the one featured on the video player, but if you put your cursor over the video, you will be able to choose previous videos.

Please, feel free to check them all out, leave comments on what you see, and tell us of any technical errors that you experience.

Meanwhile, here is some interesting information, courtesy of the Mets' Spring Training Game Notes:

College Baseball at Citi Field: This afternoon, St. Johns University and Georgetown University will play the first-ever game at Citi Field, the new home of the Mets. Citi Fieldwhich has has a seating capacity of 42,000could end up setting the Division I College Baseball record for single-game attendance. The current mark of 40,106 was set on March 11, 2004 at PETCO Park when San Diego took on the University of Houston. That game was also the first contest played at San Diego's ballpark.

So, today's game at Citi Field may take on even more historical significance. Should be fun.
