Re: Couldn't make a phone call?
I've never had the problem before and have always had Verizon. My calls wouldn't go through and my texts I sent weren't received until after the game. This was all in the parking lot.
GO DUCKS!

I have AT&T and I usually have trouble, but I was texting my friends during the game and they responded relatively quickly...

That's the thing, I never had problems before. It was just last nights game.

I've never had a problem inside or outside the stadium for 5 years before last night.dthomas=ddixon wrote:That's the thing, I never had problems before. It was just last nights game.
Sounds like Verizon Wireless had a temporary cell tower at the game to boost communications:

Now I'm more confused. It sounds like this would have helped? Maybe I need to find this tower and stand next to it next saturday.

At&t and Sprint wouldn't work for me the whole game. Full bars for both.

Re: Couldn't make a phone call?
I think it has been fairly non-semi functional in past years (all service providers) during peak times, but yesterday was fully non-functional for hours..... Really hard to communicate with anyone. Hopefully gets fixed by next game.

Does not like war, fwiw

Re: Couldn't make a phone call?
I have Tmobile never had a problem. Tho making a call inside the stadium is hard cuz usally theres a small amount of background noise.

Re: Couldn't make a phone call?
Network was jammed. Most people had full "bars", meaning that they had excellent signal from the towers, but no response from the network connected to those towers. The problem is/was not reception. Everyone where I was sitting, regardless of carrier, could not get through on the network even though they had full reception.
