Electromagnetic radiation exhibits exhibits wave-like behavior as it travels through space. This would allow it to travel through the (grounded) dome and interfere with the network. The wave emitted by the storm would interact with the wave emitted by the router, get into conflict, and mess things up for the teams. |
But the problem is that based on the theory behind electromagnetic radiation we would have interference during ever major thunderstorm in lesser insulated buildings. Also if there was any major waves that would affect the stadium, other electronic devices such as phones and laptops would be affected as well.
