No, but it impacts people who go to a game and then decide whether they come back. Sports is as much about entertainment now as it is the product on the field. There are lots of stoppages in football. If a casual fan knows they can't use their phone for 3.5 hours (when half the world lives on them nonstop), it impacts a subset of the potential audience. It definitely has a bigger impact on younger consumers too.

It's also a bigger issue usually for indoor venues (Domes and arenas) then outdoor. Though big stadiums in the South don't have issues attracting crowds so it's moot there. For a program like Syracuse, you have to remove obstacles for why people don't buy tickets.  For the folks on this board and diehards -- it has zero impact on a decision to go to a game.

But I've heard LOTS of casual fans who come to one game complain about it over the past several years. I hope it helps and they advertise it's state of the art when up and running.
