Very interesting, more than 3x the data usage for the Super Bowl, for a "dying" sport. There should be a way to capitalize off of this.

Not surprising with attendance at the Kentucky Derby being twice as large than it was at the Super Bowl, plus the Derby being an all day affair compared to the Super Bowl.

The Derby had more people attending it live. But how many more millions watched the Super Bowl on TV? Not even close.

We're talking about data usage on site, not at homes.

Doesn't that just tell you people were bored between races? They have 2x (at least) the number of people at Churchill, the people are there for double the time, and there isn't a lot going on during that time.

They wouldn't be so bored if they had slots to play.....
