A lot of stadiums I have visited have charging stations in the concourses, with a bunch of USB slots to jack in and charge up.

Other stadiums have far wider concourses though, where this does not present a big problem for ongoing foot traffic.  Maybe they could build a couple of stations into walls and minimize any impact these would have on thruput.

At the least, it would be good to have them outside the gates, where they would be most needed.

Wifi was on the list of things to be addressed with phase 1 but last I heard, it might not have made the cut.  If so, that would be an extremely unfortunate decision.  Wifi is the single most important issue for me as a fan and I suspect this is the case with most fans under 40 (and many older than this as well).  I am not just taking about installing a bunch of WAPs in the facility.  They need to be hooked up to a big pipe capable of providing a high level of service for 50,000 fans concurrently.

If wifi has not been addressed, and it turns out fall sports are canceled, I hope SU takes advantage of the down time and addresses this issue during the lull.  I can't express how important good wifi is in this day and age.  People use their phones all the time to get info.  They need bandwidth.

I don't think cell towers can handle it.  It has to be done with wifi.  Might cost a million dollars but when the dome is available again, there will be a lot of fans questioning whether it is worth it to buy tickets and attend in person.  This is the most common reason people tell me they don't like to come to games.  Hopefully a sponsor can be found who will underwrite some or all of the cost.  Put their logo on the sign in screen for wifi.  Everyone wins.
