ive had both verizon and sprint for years and neither work. you just cant have that many people in one spot without a huge infrastructure upgrade.

AT&T towers jam up when you get within a half mile of Kinnick on game day. I hate it but I just deal with it.

I always have trouble too. Last year was a little better for texting but not much. Sometimes I can get calls to come through out of the stands by the entrances but it's spotty.

Too many people in the same place at the same time. Bad place not to be able to get through to your friends/family, nobody wants to stay at the same tailgate so one small group stays the other leaves. Or if you get to the game at a different time than your friends. Ugh, it can be a little frustrating at times.
I have sprint, and while the coverage is tough in the stands during a game, it should be expected. The odd thing that happens for me is that I don't get texts right away, but when I do, I get the same text 2 or 3 times.
I have found that haing AT&T is pretty rough for coverage, but that was before Verizon joined the party this year. I would expect it to be tough for anybody to get a call/or text during a game while at or near the game.

why do you think you need to talk on the phone or text when you're inside Kinnick, watching the Hawkeyes play football??

Cause I might need to tell Mr Freak to get me hot chocolate when he comes back with that hotdog!
OR
I can text someone back home "whooooohoooo! Did you see that!"
OR
Someone might be texting me "Hey I just saw you on TV!"
OR
My mom might call and say "are you with your dad? He won't answer his phone"
Lots of reasons.

#1 to text friends who are not there to inform them of what they are missing out on
#2 to call my friends who are watching on tv and can give me a better idea on instant replays of whether or not the correct call was made.

To holla at yo homeboys and find out where they at. Not everybody has assigned seats (students) or stays with their group at all times.
