AT&T and Verizon have both made upgrades to their 5G networks in Tampa in preparation for Super Bowl LV this Sunday, and now T-Mobile has confirmed they’ve done the same. T-Mobile already offered 5G in Tampa using low-band 600 MHz spectrum, but T-Mobile President of Technology Neville Ray confirmed that they have now added the 2.5GHz and 39GHz “layers” of the carrier’s 5G to Raymond James Stadium.

The Raymond James Stadium – where the Kansas City Chiefs are set to face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers – as well as the parking lot and surrounding areas, are now covered with T-Mobile’s mix of low-, mid-, and high-band spectrum.
