Best Cell Phone Carrier to use in the stadium during games?

[andrewweyrich]

I have been a season ticket holder for 10 years and I have had Sprint for that entire time. I can never use my phone in the stadium during games with Sprint - it just doesn't work and really never has - - from calls to text to data etc. I have to keep my one sprint line but I may get a second line on T-mobile - can anyone tell me if T-mobile works during games? (text, data, phone?)....

I've been there with at&t, virgin mobile (sprint) and verizon... none of them worked worth a **** inside the bowl, although I'd say out of the 3 verizon was the best.

I have Verizon, it's slow and the 3G is spotty.

I'm sure any time you get close to 90,000 people in such a condensed location you're bound to run into bandwidth issues. I doubt any carrier is really better than any other.

I have verizon and get a signql good enough for calls and txt.....do notice that internet shifts between 3 and 1 periodically.....but I really don't use my phone that much anyway at the game.....more for emergency or work related calls.

AT&T is terrible. It usually takes multiple battery killing attempts to send a text or anything else.

AT&T works good for me. And why send a text when u can use tango instead

It's the same in any arena. Service sucks at sporting events.

My question to you is...Why do any of you need to use your phone at the game ? I use mine for a picture or two.
As well as...If I was at the game with someone who was on their phone the whole game..I would leave them there. Regardless if I drove or not.

I use my ATT phone to check other scores during the game and to get Redskins Twitter updates, also extreme skins gameday thread. There is a wifi connection that shows up but is locked, anybody know the password?...LOL!!

You are not suppose to be on your cell phone during the game as you are in restricted air space. You should be doing the 12th man...

I have Boost Mobile and yes the coverage was spotty a little.

My brother and I have verizon and it works well (up in the 400 level). I brought one of my bosses with me this past week and he has at&t and he had no success getting online to check tweets or fantasy.

They give you the scores of other games at the stadium. They do fantasy updates on the big board. Why the hell do you need to be on the phone? I carry mine in, but I'm never on it. A woman in our section missed most of the game trying to find out what happened to Robert. I figured I can wait a couple of hours to get information. Just like everything else, you idiots can't put your phones down for 5 minutes whether you're in your car, the grocery store, walking in the mall, at the game, at the dentist office, at the beach, in the mountains, blah, blah, blah. Believe me, you're heart will not stop beating if you put it down for an hour. Really, you'll live. Just stop it already. Do you really need to look at it at every traffic light? Did the President text you with a secret mission that you have to answer? Put the godamn thing down for an hour for christ's sake.

You seem really angry.. all the OP asked was which cell phone carrier gets the best coverage at FedEx during a game. Yeesh.

Some people have responsibilities.
