Do you know (can you share) if the WiFi and BLE networks at Levi Stadium were designed with each other in mind. I am wondering if it is truly as easy as using "a network that the venue probably already has" considering that all of the Beacons would need to be in BLE range of a WiFi device. I don't know enough about the ranges of each different technology or how their signals interact with all the various material that would exist in a football stadium. However I imagine that if you were designing these two networks in isolation, there is a decent chance that the required placements for full Bluetooth coverage and full WiFi coverage would leave some Beacons that aren't reachable.
Wifi-Beacon interop is quite new; it turns out the Wifi network at Levi's is really dense so it does have insane coverage. Also the Beacons are surprisingly visible even without further interop tricks - you can see them across the stadium at times.
