5G has a very short working distance, even if you can see it, that doesn’t mean it will work well. Most likely there is either some kind of interference or it is a different network or something.
You may be thinking of ultra-wideband, a very fast but extremely rare variant of 5G that only works over short ranges and requires you to be in sight of the transmitter. This is available in some parts of some stadiums, although Verizon tries hard to make it seem like it’s everywhere.
Normal 5G, such as the midband frequencies that T-Mobile often uses, covers a several-mile radius.
