Tens of thousands of people are expected to descend on the Valley for the Super Bowl in February. Verizon is upgrading its equipment to be able to handle the increased traffic. abc15
GLENDALE, AZ — For the past two years, Verizon Communications Inc. has been installing new technology across the Phoenix area and specifically in State Farm Stadium ahead of the Super Bowl.
The NFL’s championship game will be played in Glendale at State Farm Stadium on Feb. 12 and will attract tens of thousands of people, and Verizon, which has a partnership with the NFL, wants to make sure its network can handle the increased traffic on its network. While fans will be using the network to post on social media and make mobile sports bets, more and more stadium operations rely on wireless technology – meaning there needs to be a lot of 5G available during the game.
A 2022 survey, conducted by Stadium Tech Report, of executives of arenas and teams in the U.S. found that the two largest initiatives in 2023 would be improving wireless connectivity for fans and improving connectivity for operations.
