Also I think there are private wifi networks at the ground, for the backroom staff, and also the match-day staff and media.Yes to all of that - and wifi usage contention at halftime is a very fair point!
I suspect that the conference facility has good wifi in place but the main stadium doesn't and having thought about it more, you can see why:
Conference facility - smallish area, heavy footfall in normal times, a clear business need/customer requirement, can be provided at minimal cost - c.£3-5k per annum
Stadium - large area, only populated c.25 times a year for 2 hours, customers will still come because they want to watch the football, high cost - c.£20-30k per annum
A free public wifi as you say for a match day crowd is going to be a lot more cost over a bigger footprint.
