Abstract: A system and method for providing and receiving sports-related information, including scoring information, on a handheld or other device accessed by a user in a sporting arena. At least one handheld or other user device is made available at sporting arenas or elsewhere for users to access sports-related information. During a sporting event, a communication device provides the user device with original roster information, a disabled list, the weather forecast, general information about a particular sporting arena, and scoring information updates as the game progresses. The user is also able to enter, store, and later retrieve at least some of the sports-related information, such as scoring information, so that the user can review and analyze the scoring information for the sports event and games for an entire season.
