Verizon's upgraded Super Bowl stadium network (pictures)

Verizon's logo adorns one of the entrances into MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, and an even larger sign hangs inside. If there are any hiccups or if coverage is flawless, consumers have a large red sign to blame or give credit to.

Verizon's distributed antenna system is a mini network of antennas designed to boost coverage in large venues or indoor areas including malls and stadiums. There are more than 550 Verizon antennas in the building.

Hidden among other equipment under the catwalk at the top of the stadium is another antenna.

Those lights by the Bud Light sign? They aren't actually lights. Rather, they're antennas designed to blend in with the scene.

Verizon's cell sites grab the signal from the cellular network and put it out through the distributed antenna system that's lined throughout the stadium. Cell sites for all the other major carriers are located elsewhere around the stadium.
