Report: Ohio State Targeting 2016 for Full Horseshoe Wifi Service

It hasn't happened in Columbus, but across America, college football fans are eschewing the live, in-stadium experience for that of the television experience.

One way American sports teams hope to combat that trend is with the addition of wifi networks throughout their stadiums. The Horseshoe is not one of those cutting-edge stadiums, yet.

According to Evan Weese of BizJournals.com, Gene Smith hopes to add public wifi to Western Civilization's architectural crown jewel by 2016's football campaign. Currently, only the pressbox and luxury suites come equipped with that feature.

Gene Smith expects the upgrade to cost around $3 million.
