re: Phone/internet in other stadiums?

Some people have this right. Cell phone service is a product of your phone provider. If AT&T cell phones aren't getting a consistently good signal, complain to AT&T.
Stadium wifi is different. The athletic department (or LSU facilities people?) makes the decision on that. Fitting Tiger Stadium for dependable wifi is a costly upgrade.
I would think AT&T will want to wire the whole place for fiber optic.
LSU has to respond to the problem. It makes sense from a ticket buyer standpoint, but a reliable internet signal would also generate revenue for LSU.
How? By selling our personal information, of course, same as all websites. There's also an in-seat gambling component for the athletic department to consider.
The newer professional stadiums and arenas have realized this and planned accordingly. College facilities, however, which tend to be older, have continued to lag behind.

The fact is Verizon has better service in and around the stadium because they are a sponsor and allowed to put antennas in the stadium to improve the signal.
The argument some make about putting the phone down is silly. We live in a world where people want to keep up with other games, their friends and gamble during the 3-4 hours they are at the stadium. No excuse for LSU not figuring out how to supply in-stadium WiFi in 2022. If u don’t want to use yours, no problem, but the majority of people going want to use their mobile device in this day and age.
