If they had really wanted to block bluetooth, they would have had to have big signs at the entrance to the stadiums, as every cell phone has bluetooth.
It's still on the same band though. At that point you may even ask why the bother restricting 2.4 GHz since all of their equipment is in the 5 GHz band (or is supposed to be so I am told). Solution? 802.11y! hahaha too bad I don't have a license for that.
