Verizon Users Beware!

by mracer24

I guess it has something to do with the Quest in Quest Field, but my Verizon phone, and none of my friends verizon phones, worked when we were there for the DC United/Real Madrid game. That's a real problem when we use our mobiles like walkie talkies to find each other in the concourses (which are really big!) Although, on the 300 level, the concourses are too small to walk through, with the stadium at capacity (67,000!!!), it took a while to find eachother!

Phones involved: Motorla RAZR, Q, and some clamshells.

Has anyone else experienced this???

I was able to make a call go through after trying for 5, somtimes 10 minutes, and i had 2 bars of reception! It's the middle of seattle! No service? Seems a little fishy...

AWESOME STADIUM!!!!

by Seagalwannabe

My husband and I are season ticket holders, so we buy the cheap seats. Guess what~were in the "Hawks Nest" and couldn't have greater seats! We went to the opening game of pre-season and had a great time. Would recommend families attend games, yeah the food is kind of expensive, but hey thats expected, isn't is? Have Fun!

• Pros: Great Stadium, Great View, Location
• Cons: Expensive

Advice from someone who learned the hard way - put up the bucks for the good seats. We sat in the $30 seats and ended up in the very last row at the top of the stadium. Vendors don't venture up there, so you have a long walk for food; you only get a view of one of the screens for replays; the board that actually lists the score and down is rather small; and the acoustics are a nightmare. The shape of the stadium makes it one huge echo chamber if you're up in the top seats. The sound of the crowd is deafening and you can barely hear the announcer because of the feedback and echo. Finally, all those TV monitors positioned throughout the stadium that they were yapping about? They show ads and menus for the food stands.

• Pros: Lots of restrooms., Good overall location, Nice atmosphere.
• Cons: Terrible acoustics., Terrible food stands., No parking info.
