Does anyone else have a hell of a time sending and receiving data via their cell phones at Husky Stadium?
I was trying to meet up with them good ol' boys from Skagit County @Joey and @WoolleyDoog at the game where instantaneous line of communication was critical and my AT&T plan iPhone wasn't having any of it. I would have been better of with carrier pigeons in that cell phone black hole of death.

Happens every week and it just drains your battery. Apparently it’s an overload of the service system in such a small place (not really small)
 
Hit and miss with T-Mobile. Last UW game was fine, but it was a half full stadium. Metallica concert was almost impossible to get any kind of connection.
 
It mainly comes down to cellular priority. Most of the network down there prioritizes T-mobile, then AT&T, and finally Verizon plebes like me.

My battery is getting a little long in the tooth as well.
It just seems like trying to audible with fellow fans you're trying to connect with at a game is impossible with AT&T. Everything has to be pre-planned with the precision of a Swiss Watch, otherwise yer fucked.
 
I'm on Google Fi and it worked just fine for me. HOWEVA - last time I was there was 2 years ago at the Portland State game so it was only like 1/3 full stadium.
