I can see where the students that care enough about football to put up with the hassle of going to games wouldn't be the ones that would be upset about not having full use of their smartphones during a game. It's probably more of an issue for students who don't really care about the game, but just go for the social aspect, but even those students probably would take upgraded restrooms over upgraded cellular service--whether it's girls with some bladders or guys with flasks.
One thing that may happen in the not too distant future is that people may start getting their replays from smartphones, not just scores and the like. When that happens, all these huge video boards taking up space become less attractive.

They need for a constant stream of entertainment. Pauses in action, tv timeouts, boring recognition of all B students on the field kill the entertainment value and they drift away.
Due to social media, connectivity, whatever you wanna call it.....there is a constant waking question of "am I missing out on something?" Any dead time has to be filled with checking to make sure you're not missing out on anything. If you don't believe me, look around the next time you are at a stop light. Brief pause in the action of driving and everyone is checking to make sure they haven't missed anything. Hell, most do it now while driving.
