@BeatCrazy provide excellent answer. Google search “cellular service Super Bowl 2023” and you will quickly understand answer not so straight forward or simple.How many max can it handle in one spot? 1000 , 10,000 ?
I'm curious what this means "highest priority plan on provider", since I have never heard this plan...No service of any kind with any provider sometimes Mostly SOS
Every now and then would get 5g+, 5g or 4g lte
Is this normal ?
Have a iPhone 14 Pro Max on the highest priority plans on providers.
Only the carrier can tell youHow many max can it handle in one spot? 1000 , 10,000 ?

All carriers have different data priorities for cellular traffic. Typically, wireless home internet and MVNOs get the lowest prioritization during periods of congestion. The highest tier plans have more of their data pushed when things get congested.I'm curious what this means "highest priority plan on provider", since I have never heard this plan...
are you thinking you have higher priority for cell service over another customer of the same provider, or is this just more service related to "customer service."
A pure 5G SA network can handle 1 million connections per square km. That's much smaller than the footprint of a stadium. It comes down to the carrier and how they've implemented it.
You look at the Beijing National Stadium, they can handle over 90,000 spectators no problem using 5G.
Maybe IoT devices under specific laboratory circumstances. But if you think 5G SA can handle 1M people live-streaming Facebook, you obviously don't work in the cellular industry
Except @max2 did. Which means there are other limitations, as I related.No streaming, maybe just plain calls. But users definitely won't see "SOS"
Ok... but then it would be interesting that with the "highest priority" there is nothing... although I do highly doubt that anyone with the same provider would be able to make a call with a higher plan over someone with a lower plan.All carriers have different data priorities for cellular traffic.

Was @max2 on a pure 5G SA network? Was the stadium littered with mobile base stations? All I'm saying is 70,000 users is easily achievable. But I agree there are other limitations., particularly with carrier infrastructure.

I guess what I am really curious about is why it would matter to have service when you are in a stadium to see a act or sports event?
Ok, this is funny..... to immediately assume anything about me. But I think the "live streaming" is not just obnoxious (putting your cell in front of someone else's face) but also useless since you are going to be one of many that showed the exact same stuff. So no, I really do not understand needing service at a venue where someone profesional is probably recording it a lot better...Based on the info that the OP shared, we can assume the answer to those questions is a 'no'. And I suppose anything is 'easily achievable' if you throw hundreds of millions of dollar at it.
You might be surprised.
Have you been to any big concerts lately? Live-streaming the experience to followers (or whoever) seems to be a popular activity, especially with the <30 crowd.
At my last concert the couple in front of me, probably in their 40s, were shooting with two devices each (smartphone for video and mirrorless camera for stills) held above their heads. It drove me crazy.Have you been to any big concerts lately? Live-streaming the experience to followers (or whoever) seems to be a popular activity, especially with the <30 crowd.
Sounds like every experience ever at the Virginia Tech home games. Man, it blows.No service of any kind with any provider sometimes Mostly SOS
