Game Day Mobile Phone Service

I’ve had AT&T, Verizon, and TMobile. None have given me good reception in the stadium

The old Nextel radio always worked.

I swear theu do it on purpose for advertising or something. I can't check anything in the stadium. I want to be able to check Twitter and fanduel.

I have at&t and I was texting friends, checking scores on espn and looking at td.com all night (between plays and during those ridiculously long TV timeouts) with no problem at all.
I was in the Stadium Club on the west side (as a guest, I'm poor.) Would that have made a difference?

It works way better than it used to

You do realize there’s 100,000 plus people in one building, all using their phone all game. Tiger Stadium becomes the 4th or 5th largest “city” in the state. Yes, it’s frustrating but increasing capacity would be costly.
It’s just like traffic after the game. That many cars leaving a concentrated area at one time is going to cause problems.

No company. There are limited amounts of “bandwidth”, so to speak That many people in one cell makes reception difficult

Who is the official provider for LSU? Seems like you could tie that to good stadium performance somehow...it's a solvable problem. Just need to scale up the equipment to match the demand. The problem is that no one yet has been motivated to solve it.

Personally I don't like the new music they play or the DJ. I'm more traditional and like the band and less stuff between plays. But would really like, and pay for, cell service that would work so I could check on stats, listen to Blair & Hester, and check on how other game are going.

Some stadiums choose to have good bandwidth to improve the fan experience.

Why can’t they just setup some WiFi?

It would cost $25 million to put in high density WiFi that could handle 100K people in an area the size of TS. Ohio State did it and they pulled 48 miles of fiber through the stadium to connect all of the access points.
