Why don't the stadiums just setup an open wifi network? (no password)

Some do. Allianz Field in St Paul has an open guest network, then you “sign in” with your email like you would at a coffee shop.

It works great, super speedy. Definitely better than the cell network during a game.

Probably because the stadiums don't want to incur the expense of doing so. That scale of setup wouldn't exactly be cheap.
