We tailgate in donor lot C4. We tried to stream GameDay via YouTubeTV to Roku last week, using my AT&T iPhone as a hotspot, but data couldn’t keep up as the lot filled up. We then watched Fox Big Noon from the antenna, which worked nice.
We would definitely like to watch next week’s GameDay, but we need a new solution. Any recommendations?
 
I asked a similar question in another thread. One person said they had good luck with T-Mobile 5G. It sounds like Verizon is almost useless but that’s all I have for now.
 
Data will be a challenge. We were able to pick up all the local channels no problem just with a small antenna on the roof of a truck last Saturday though.
 
I just broke down and bought a king tailgater for dish network, which allows monthly pay as you go, I will be using this for my tailgates from now on. Its expensive to get going, but oh well. If you have Dish net its only like $5/month add on once you get the equip. But I don't have it a regular package so will just pay monthly for a month or 2 each season.
 
Other than last weekend you won't need to stream. I would go with a winegard tailgater and never worry about it!

The highest quality, but most expensive, option is getting a winegard automatic dish and using a satellite package. Its the only one that won't be subject to issues with data in the lots. (tmobile was reportedly solid last saturday, but games like the iowa game will really max that out)

FWIW, we just bought a Dish RV setup off Facebook marketplace. Gonna give it a try.
