Lumen Technologies has been tasked with providing fiber to connect the New York Yankees' primary data center in Tampa, Florida.
Despite being based more than 1,100 miles away in New York, Major League Baseball giants New York Yankees began the process of relocating their primary data center from Yankee Stadium to a new, purpose-built Tampa facility back in 2019.

The facility, which opened in 2022, features a 3,500-square-foot (325 sqm) data floor and is built to withstand sustained winds of 200 mph.
Lumen's programmable network links Yankee Stadium to the Tampa facility. Lumen connects the Tampa data center to Yankee Stadium over two separate 100-gigabit fiber paths, one routed through New York and one through New Jersey, with both terminating in Tampa.
