Total Mobile Data Usage by Top 5 Professional and Collegiate Venues

Below are the top performing venues from the past week as well as a few interesting trends we noticed.

Regional Separation

During week 4 of the college football season and week 3 of the pro season some geographic differences came to light.
In college, four of the five venues carrying the most traffic for the week were located east of the Mississippi River or in the Southeastern US.
Pro football was no different, with all five of the top venues located east of the Mississippi River and all five coming from only two of pro football’s eight divisions.
On average this week, pro and college venues located east of the Mississippi River did approximately 25% more data than their western counterparts.

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. 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.
