This can sometimes cause a cell phone traffic overload and prevent calls and texts from going through, which would definitely be annoying.
In efforts to combat this, Verizon is introducing something near the stadium known as COLT (Cell on Light Truck). This is a fully-functional mobile cell site that adds extra wireless capacity.

In addition, if you plan to use a laptop near the stadium, you will probably notice that you have access to better Broadband Internet.
