If your team is traveling to play “Croker” in the autumn, you know you’re in for a big day.

A light pole near U.S. Bank Stadium is mounted with 5G antennas for Verizon’s new ultra high speed wireless service. Minneapolis and Chicago were among the first places in the world to get next-generation wireless coverage. The communications giant plans to expand its fastest 5G network to Colorado Springs later this month.
