The start of the NFL and college football seasons mean different things to different people, but for those in some cities it means an uptick in the amount of mobile data we use on our smartphones.

Smartphones are now a major part of sports fans’ game day experience. Whether it’s checking emails, looking at stats or fantasy football results or conversing from the game with family and friends back home and at other rival stadiums across the country, it’s important to say “I was there!”

When it comes to firing up the wireless network, fans in Atlanta this weekend did their best to rival the numbers also burning up at other stadiums across the country. In fact, Atlanta ranked third nationally in terms of opening weekend mobile data usage (see below.)
