I'd recommend to anyone planning to use this system that they submit a Q&A question about it to get confirmation (unless one has already been submitted and I missed it).

I thought about the same thing. However, I read it the other way, they only want to block Wi-Fi, and allow other uses. The Wi-Fi alliance only certifies IEEE 802.11 equipment. Bluetooth is IEEE 802.15.

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.
