Stadiums have issues with this too. I was at Marlins Park for the All-Star series. During the Home Run Derby I had press access, which had special Wifi credentials on a completely separate network. It was down for the entire game. A lot of hotspots popped up in the press area. The during the actual All-Star game I tried the regular stadium Wifi. It was down for most of the game. T-Mobile was up for most of the game, so I was still able to publish photos and read people's reactions. A good thing as T-Mo was the main sponsor for the games.

It's a challenge, but a very well-characterized one that all enterprise-grade access points are built to handle. Lots of access points, with radio power turned way down to prevent neighbor interference, and channels selected to avoid overlap with neighboring APs. Shameless plug - my ex-employer Meraki is particularly good at supplying these systems for events, since they have automatic channel-selection and good tooling for selecting power levels, and let you set up configurations at your leisure that the APs will use as soon as they get an internet connection and fetch the configs from Meraki servers.
