I'm curious, what did the uplink look like for those 18 wheelers?

  Back in those days, a mixed bag depending on what was available at the venue and dependent on what the responsible LEC could provision (hence the need for some specialist engineers to be involved). Stadiums in particular are usually quite well equipped from a telco perspective. Could be anything from N x T-1s or DS-3s to fiber ATM to more esoteric stuff like SMDS and point-to-point microwave. Once IP became the de facto transport I'm guessing there was more stuff like MetroE and frame relay, and these days I imagine they just plug in some multiGbps fiber and ride IP back to the mothership.
