Case Study: Portland Timbers and Thorns achieve a modern fan experience with Zayo connectivity

Portland Timbers and Thorns power 95% of fan traffic with Zayo

The Portland Timbers and Thorns faced significant connectivity challenges within their historic Providence Park stadium. The nearly century-old venue required a modern network upgrade to support over 20,000 fan devices simultaneously and eliminate the risks of downtime. To address this, the customer partnered with vendor Zayo for a high-performance 10G fiber circuit.

Zayo implemented a reliable and redundant 10G circuit that handles 95% of fan traffic and supports fluctuating data volumes averaging 800 to 1500 Mbps during games. This solution provided the bandwidth necessary for HD/4K streaming and video collaboration tools for staff, while also ensuring responsive disaster recovery. As a result, Zayo secured a scalable, cost-effective foundation for the stadium's growing technological needs and eliminated bandwidth concerns for the customer.
