Apparently football matches suffer from poor/no mobile phone reception, I didn't actually know this, it came up in conversation with a football-going friend. I know festivals/carnivals suffer from this and obviously protests. Makes sense that large sporting events would also suffer from this really.

Any large gathering that overwhelms the towers with traffic ๐ฏ
Any kind of music festival or large protest has the same issue.
In Nimbin during the mardigrass every year same thing happens.
10 thousand people show up to a town of a few hundred. Half of them try to Livestream etc. nobody has phone reception the entire 3 days.

Any large in person gathering. Often the very place where the cell networks start to break down due to too many users at once.
