We’re in the thick of football season and it continues to be as unpredictable as ever. However, one thing we’ve been able to predict this season has been big metrics on our mobile networks at stadiums across the country each week. Below are the top performing venues from the past week as well as a few interesting trends we noticed.

Double Dip in Miami

  • For the first time this year, the top venue was the same for both professional and college football.
    • Miami’s football stadium hosted the top two data-heavy games from the past week of action. In total, between the pro and college games, Miami football fans used more than 2,735GB on AT&T’s venue-specific network. 2,735GB is equivalent to more than 7.7 million social media posts with photos.
  • In addition, this week consisted of all repeat visitors to our list. Every venue on our two top five data-heavy venue lists has appeared on their respective list earlier this season.

Caveats:

  • All figures include only data traffic seen on AT&T’s venue-specific mobile network.
  • All data metrics come from only venues with a DAS where AT&T’s mobile network is on-air and under contract. These metrics are not comprehensive of every game played during this past weekend for professional or college football.
  • This data is compiled from only football stadiums that had home games during this selected timeframe where AT&T is on-air on a DAS.
