No cell service during game

US Cellular has put portable cell towers around the stadium for the last few years, but still the demand makes for slow going...
Verizon had a portable tower in G7 last week, but it had not been raised or the generator started before we left to go into the game.
I have US Cellular and was unable to connect to the internet on my phone while in the stadium. My wife had trouble sending picture messages also.

Airports are full of those people every day, so they build the infrastructure to support it. JTS has this many people 6-7 days a year.
Us Cellular has atleast one mobile tower parked outside the stadium so I assume that's why they'd be better.
I get call coverage fine with Sprint inside the stadium, but my data speeds are so slow it's basically not usable.
Like everyone else said, the demand is just too high. I do enjoy checking game stats during timeouts and halftime and i've never had a problem. If you're basing your experience off of last week, remember that was one of the highest attended games in recent history.
How about instead of sexting or updating your Facebook status every 5 minutes, you watch the game and cheer on the Cyclones while you're there instead?
That's a little harsh, don't you think? This is dmclone we're talking about. I doubt he's sexting. He's probably tweeting about how awesome his car is.
