If you're a Taylor Swift fan who has enjoyed watching livestream feeds from the superstar's Toronto Eras Tour show, you may have noticed that for the most part, the quality was better than on her previous tour dates.
It's no coincidence: Rogers, the presenting sponsor of The Eras Tour in Canada, invested $8 million in inside Toronto's Rogers Centre ballpark.
So can 91原创 fans expect the same?
Yes, says a representative for the 91原创 telecom giant.
Rogers is working to enhance the 5G network and improve the fan experience at BC Place, and already its network team have been at work to make those upgrades.
"We have done a full network redesign and installation of a new in-stadium network system to meet the anticipated demand for fans across three nights in 91原创," says Rogers.
Just how much data do Swifties use while at the Eras Tour?
Rogers offered some staggering data in an October press release about the .
"At the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, AT&T’s network handled a staggering 28.9 TB of data during the busiest day of Swift’s three-day tour stop there. To put that into perspective, if fans shared 200,000 photos or 400 hours of video, that would only chew up 1 TB of data."
“Taylor fans use record amounts of data to livestream as well as share videos and photos from her shows, and this investment will ensure they have the best experience," noted Mark Kennedy, Chief Technology Officer, in that same press release.
In 91原创, more than just Swifties will benefit from the boost; BC Place is home to the Whitecaps and BC Lions, and hosts many high-profile special sporting and concert events.
