MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — When fans flood into U.S. Bank Stadium on Feb. 4, the Super Bowl excitement is guaranteed to be shared.
And when they do it will total multiple terabytes worth of cellphone texts and calls, photographs and videos.
Diana Scudder, executive director of network assurance for Verizon, knows that consumer’s appetite for cellphone data continues to grow.
More than 11 terabytes of data was consumed by Verizon’s customers at Super Bowl LI in Houston last year.
It is expected that fans attending the Super Bowl in Minneapolis will easily surpass that amount of data usage, making necessary the huge investment in communications technology at U.S. Bank Stadium.
A major part of that is the vast array of 1,200 cellphone antennas strategically placed throughout the stadium. It is called a Distributed Antenna System, or DAS.
