Has anyone tried to use Slingbox while tailgating?

Here's the sitation: I just got a Droid Incredible and am thinking of getting a slingbox so I can catch the end of noon games when Michigan has a 3:30 game. I could hardly get texts out with AT&T, but that was during the game and on AT&T. IIRC, Verizon actually brings in mobile towers to up capacity on gamedays.

Has anyone tried to slingbox on Verizon at a tailgate? Did it work? Should I save my money?
