So people are going be missing around on wifi instead of giving themselves a brain aneurysm yelling when we are on defense? This isn't good we need Arrowhead as loud as possible when we are on defense people.

It'll definitely be used sparingly by yours truly. I go to games to watch the games...but I like the replay idea and the under the hood thing...

This....and to check fantasy teams during halftime and between quarters.

But just today, I was notified that we no longer qualify, so it's back to T-Mobile, which totally kicked ass.

I've heard the same. Sprint is currently upgrading to Samsung equipment (radios and antennas) to support 4G; installing fiber at every site. Long project however. Right now there isn't anything scheduled for SoCal.

What really makes it even worse for us is that we're in the hills and the hillside is made of petrified granite. Without a cell tower nearby, the iPhone 4s is useless and if it's left on, it'll die within a few hours because it's constantly searching for a signal.

T-Mobile put in a tower at Lake Hollywood, so the signal is excellent. I was also able to make calls through our wireless network in the home, which is a service that isn't available through Sprint. They shipped us this big, ugly contraption in order to make wireless calls but it kept losing signal and knocked out our wireless connection.

No offense to Sprint employees but the service is awful in SoCal.

It will be nice just to receive a text or call at the game.

< not a Sprint employee :)

hopefully it gets better out there. I've been running several markets for a year getting fiber & network vision equipment at sites. Not sure how they came up with the market priority list however. I would've though they would've hit major cities first.

Maybe they wanted to get the kinks worked out before tackling cities like New York, San Fran, L.A., Chicago, etc.?

I worked Chicago (1900 + sites) over the past year; and I know San Fran is being worked now. Right now I'm working 'Pennsylvania' (Pitt, Buffalo, etc)

....I dread NY.

Just realized this was my 25,000th post. I'll be signing autographs after the show.

:cuss:

Ha ha, how long did you have to search around for that?


My point was this. Yes, it sucks that it is hard to get on the internet while in Arrowhead (or even make a phone call). I'm glad they are addressing it. But your bitching about the bathrooms and concessions is, IMO, over the top. I like the fact that they have more concessions stands and restroom access than they used to. It's not really a problem these days. At least not nearly what it was before the stadium upgrades.

Most people I know that have had Sprint say that it is bad.

Thats why you do all your eating and drinking at the tailgate. :D

It is really all about where you live and if you travel a lot. I've used Tmobile, att and verizon networks. In my house and my city, ATT is by far the best. Verizon tends to have a poor signal in my home. Tmobile was shit unless you were right next to the interstate.

the only ones I have traveled with are ATT and Tmobile. I never had a bad signal on ATT but Tmobile had no coverage at all from Salina to Denver.

I am sure this will lead to lots of Facebook posts of "At Arrowhead with blah blah person". Gametime pics and videos from phones.
