3Com Unveils Enhanced 3Com Park Web Site; Technology Provides Unique Look Inside Home of San Francisco 49ers, Giants BW - 09:07 a.m. Feb 17, 1999 Eastern SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BW SportsWire)--Feb. 17, 1999--Global networking leader 3Com Corporation (Nasdaq:COMS) today launched a re-designed Web site featuring 3Com Park, the home to the National Football League's San Francisco 49ers and Major League Baseball's San Francisco Giants. The site, which can be viewed at 3com.com, is designed to provide a rewarding, interactive Web experience. Visitors can use the latest in Web technology to learn about 3Com Park and the entertaining events that occur within its confines. The 3Com Park online experience truly revolves around 3Com's broad range of consumer networking products. For example, visitors can download a Palm III(tm) software application that enables them to follow the schedules for the 49ers and Giants. With V.90 56K(a) technology featured in 3Com's line of U.S. Robotics(R) modems, users can view the history of 3Com Park on an interactive, Shockwave-based timeline. Additionally, with the added bandwidth provided by a 56K connection, those planning to visit the park can check out the view from any vantage point in the stadium using IPIX richmedia technology. "The strategy behind the new 3Com Park site is to provide users with a vehicle to essentially test 3Com(R) information access products using hot Web technology such as shockwave and real-time Java," said Neil Clemmons, vice president of marketing for 3Com Corporation. "The site enables fans from around the world to learn more about the Giants, 49ers and the evolution of Bay Area sports. At the same time, 3Com is able to further develop brand-recognition for the company and its products." Visitors to 3Com Park online are able to learn about the history of the park and the teams that call it home, find an appropriate route to the park from anywhere in the San Francisco Bay area, and even check out the view from 14 seating areas around the stadium. With real-time Java-based weather news, those planning to attend an event can even find tips as to how to dress appropriately for the ever-changing weather conditions at 3Com Park -- located at Candlestick Point on the shores of the San Francisco Bay. The city of San Francisco, the San Francisco 49ers and 3Com Corporation announced in 1995 that Candlestick Park would be renamed 3Com Park. 3Com, one of the world's fastest growing and largest data networking companies became the first high technology company to sponsor a professional sports venue in the United States. In the early 1990s, the park needed many costly improvements. The city of San Francisco sought corporate sponsors to help offset the expenses. While other national sponsors were considered, the City and the San Francisco 49ers agreed that a local company such as 3Com, with a tradition of commitment to the community, was the best option.
