And no....I don’t care if I can get on Facebook during the game. I am concerned about being able to get on the internet to access my digital tickets on the Peach Bowl app for scanning at the gate.

The internet doesn’t work well at Tiger Stadium and I’m hoping that Mercedes Benz is state of the art with good internet access.

If you have an iPhone you can just add the digital tickets to your Wallet app that comes on every iPhone and won’t require internet to use it

I don’t think I used it.

Data worked fine.

Never used their WiFi there but have had digital tickets there. Can’t you have them loaded before you go? Even if they change to where you can’t screen shot them, Atlanta has plenty of cell tower to load them. My opinion with all the stadiums I have attended none of their WiFi’s have been great.

Screenshot your phone with tickets pulled up for each ticket. Use your image gallery when going through gate

Speaking of WiFi.... if it's the same deal as the SECCG, you can take a pic of your group with your smartphone, add a specific hashtag they'll give you, post to Twitter or Instagram, and there's a chance the pic will show up on the digital screen at the top of the MBS. It was all the rage at the SECCG. Lots of fun...

Some new ticketing systems have an active barcode on the ticket, so you aren’t able to screen shot. I’m not sure if those work in wallet.

To answer OP, yes there was WiFi and it worked well. The stadium experience at MB is good, but the entry into stadium took forever in the two instances I’ve been. Don’t wait until last minute.

oh I see they are now rotating/refreshing barcodes now to stop people from selling tickets then using them. Pretty smart actually

It worked great for SESCG. Best I've seen in any stadium to date.

Hot spots all over the stadium but the data coverage doesn’t slow down during games anyway.

It was specifically stated that a screen shot will not work.

And yes...it was also stated you can add the tickets to Apple Wallet or Google Pay. I have never used Apple Wallet and not sure what it is all about. I’m afraid to mess with my tickets and lose them somehow.

Can someone give me a simple explanation on how to add them to Wallet and how to use it?

Wifi was very solid.. I was on airplane mode the entire time and still sending iMessages during the SECCG.
