Miami All-Star Fans Snap Selfies Like Champs

MIAMI, FL — Miami may not be a die-hard sports town like Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Clevland or Chicago but the rest of the country can't touch us in the selfie stats. Tuesday's 2017 All-Star Game was evidently no exception. AT&T estimates that fans, players and visitors used nearly 1.2 terabytes of data at Marlins Park.

"That’s equal to more than 3.3 million selfies," the carrier's Kelly Layne Starling told Patch. And that was just counting AT&T users. (Sign up for our free Daily Newsletters and Breaking News Alerts for the Miami Patch.)

AT&T upgraded its network inside the ballpark to handle more traffic — more selfies, more video, more stat surfing, more calls to mom and dad — ahead of the big game. The upgraded equipment will remain as a permanent addition to Marlins Park.

Company executives said that data on the AT&T mobile network has increased about 250,000 percent over the past 10 years.
