DENVER (CBS4)- Some cell phone customers will soon have better service inside Sports Authority Field at Mile High thanks to a $10 million upgrade.
Verizon Wireless installed miles of cables and 210 antennas in the process of upgrading its data network inside the stadium.
Both the Denver Broncos and Verizon have received complaints about the service and hope the upgrade helps.
