Just because 100% of the audience is capable of using wifi doesn't mean that 100% of them will be using it simultaneously.
Tickets cost a minimum of $2,000 on stubhub.com for nosebleed seats.
This event only happens once a year.
People really want to see this thing live.
With a drink in one hand, popcorn in the other, and a smile on their face, I would be surprised if more than 10% of the audience was glued to their phone at any one given time.
- e40 14y agoDepends on the age of the audience. I'm guessing it would be skewed to an older crowd, but I wouldn't put it past young people (under 30?) to want to connect to wifi and use their phone all through the game. I am continually amazed how many people use cell phones in situations where they shouldn't need them (movies, dates, etc).
- CrazedGeek 14y agoAlthough, I'd imagine there'd be a deluge of connections any time there's an interruption in the game. Which, given that this is football, seems like it'd happen pretty frequently.
- nicw 14y agoThe article points out that during the 3 hours of the Superbowl, only an average of 11 minutes is actual playing time. That's a lot of downtime where fans in those $2,000 seats will be watching replay videos, uploading their own, and checking stats.
