OT: For those who attended the game - Cell phone coverage

Advertisement
I have at&t and we all had the same issues. Couldn’t get an call out or request an Uber. The ******* neighborhood was a dump and we had to walk through it for miles while we got closer to the downtown area to get lucky enough to find a lyft driver to take us the rest of the way. I walked for about 3 miles. Man I’m never going to watch a game in that ****hole of a stadium ever again
 
Same here. We walked about 2 miles and finally got picked up by uber around 1245. If I ever go to that stadium again I will pay for parking.
 
ATT but I was with others who had Verizon. It was bad for everyone. Also didn’t matter where we walked.

We couldn’t get an Uber or Lyft for 2 hours and only got back by flagging down a random taxi.

Parking prices weren't as bad as I thought they would be.

I debated it but I didnt know the area and just thought getting out via uber or kyft wouldnt be too bad. I was way off lol. Plus I wasnt tailgating so I figured it woukd be hard to get in a lot after all the tailgating started. I guess I could of parked in someones yard though.
 
My wife and I have T-Mobile, mine worked (Android) but was slow inside the stadium. My wife has an I-phone and didn't work. My cousin and his family have Sprint and theirs didn't work either.

ATT is my provider and as soon as I got within the stadium my coverage went ZERO DARK 30, anybody else experience this?

Horrible and also dangerous, was hard to locate people in my party, or even friends I wanted to find.

Inside the stadium had decently fast WiFi which it seems was not that utilized as is it didn’t slow down much.

The bums who figure out how to deal with cell tower overload at major events should get a Nobel peace prize.

Or the plot-twist, they black out the cell coverage on purpose?
 
Nope, had reception the entire time, was sending a ton of pics and texts. Then again, I'm not with AT&T wireless so that explains it. AT&T has been garbage for decades, I'm not shocked that you wouldn't have reception in any crowded area.
 
Between the game and the Backstreet Boys concert it was estimated there were over 100,000 people downtown last night in addition to normal Saturday night activity. That many people in a small area probably jammed up the towers. Sounds like mostly att customers in the area.

It took us an hour and a half to go 2 miles back to the Airbnb. We watched the light change at least 15 times without moving trying to turn on South St. Downtown.

That's what I did lol. $20 on the street parallel to Florida colored endzone. I think the Handicap entrance was on that street as well. Getting into the stadium was the worst part of the experience IMO. Me and my girl ended up getting in through a hole in the fence saved us 25 mins of waiting on line and missing Kickoff.
