NRG Stadium Gives AT&T Users Availability To Upgraded Antennas During Final Four

AT&T mobile users "will have access during the Final Four to the upgraded distributed antenna system at NRG Stadium," according to David Barron of the HOUSTON CHRONICLE. AT&T officials said that the company has spent about $25M "on upgrades that will boost the customers' access to data, video and voice services" at the stadium and NRG Park during this year's Final Four and next year's Super Bowl. The new system was installed at the facility "late last year in response to longstanding complaints about data and voice services at the stadium." AT&T joins Verizon "in having access to that system" (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 3/15).
