Cell Phone Reception At LES

[Wickchad]

Am I the only one that can't get cell phone reception at the games? I have AT&T and in the past I never had any trouble. This year I can't get calls or emails in the stadium. Usually after I walk to the car after the game I get around 10 text messages that were sent while I was at the game.

I have the same problem and I have AT&T as well. I think it may be an AT&T issue because I know people with Verizon and T-mobile Phones that text all game or call all game long without a problem. I never had any problems until the last two years, but this year has been much worse for me.

60,000 cell phones = terrible reception. Plus the angles of bouncing signals into a 4-walled bowl. It's the same at any stadium, any year.

Except I have sat next to people using their networks making calls without a problem. That's what drives me nuts is when I have full bars and phone calls and texts won't arrive on my phone until a good hour after I've left the stadium. And you can forget about data.

And yes. it's AT&T.

Ditto to the above. AT&T. No reception. My brother has another carrier (T-Mobile???) - no problem.

Every single game day, my phone lights up like a Christmas Tree when I'm half way home from the game with all the texts and missed calls/messages that didn't make it through while I was at the game.

This is especially annoying because BYU can only find it in the goodness of their heart to show "scores of interest" once a game, and almost always in the middle of a drive! Idiots...

I'm on Verizon and usually have pretty good reception. I try to text Hawkwing during the game, but he keeps forgetting to charge his phone, so the middle of the 2nd quarter I get a text: My phone is about to die.

Maybe AT&T is secretly owned by a BCS entity and they are just screwing with our emotions because we can't check other scores just like the administration seems to be screwing with our emotions of joining a BCS conference. Unlike Hawk my phone is always charged but it is dead about half-way through the game because it stays on trying to send a message for 2 hours. I have been with AT&T for 7 years and I am on the verge of getting a diff carrier just so I can look at scores when I am in the stadium.

verizon is where it's at

Had verizon and they kept charging me all these hidden fees. It was cheaper to buy my contract out early then keep paying all these ridiculous fees every month.

Holy cow I thought I was the only one having this problem.... very frustrating. I have T- mobile and have had the same service and seats at LES and never had a problem before this year.
