The Cytwins WiFi service? Some contact JP and let them know we have a donor.

In stadium WiFi is a pretty crazy expense for something that will be used 6 or 7 times per year. It makes sense in bigger markets where the buildings get used all the time but I think the department can probably spend the money more wisely here.
They can charge for it though
Looking at a multi-million dollar investment plus upkeep. I'm not sure you'd ever have the demand to make your money back. Maybe I'm an outlier but I kind of like separating myself from the world when I'm tailgating and at a game...

It's a necessity to have your phone? What the hell did people do 25 years ago?

I'd gladly pay another $25/season ticket.
Those aren't remotely comparable."It's a necessity to have your car? What the hell did people do 125 years ago?"
Yeah...that's a 10 year payback completely ignoring maintenance costs not to mention I'm guessing Jamie would rather spend the money elsewhere.I'd gladly pay another $25/season ticket.

I was at Camp Randall a couple years ago and a guy in athletics at Wisconsin told us it was about $10M for their wi-fi install. Something like $13M for both Camp Randall and the Kohl Center but the vast majority was Camp Randall.$25/season ticket at 46K tickets, is $1.1 million. Would it cost over $1 million to install wifi at the stadium? Surely, there is no way it would cost $10 million to install wifi for a 10 year pay back. ISU gets 1 gig internet service, pretty sure its fiber backbone on the aureon network.

This article seems to be in the same neighborhood:

If people were looking for in-stadium as well as parking lot coverage I'm guessing $10M would get blown out of the water. The other problem is you'd still be screwed on texts (but would be able to use something like Snapchat to message).
Camp Randall is fairly dungeon-y so I'd assume it could be done cheaper at JTS with how open it is but the catch is I'm guessing you'd be doing at minimum the S lots and maybe all paved parking too.If you use Imessage, hangout or whatsapp, you'd be just fine.
Thanks for the providing the information that is very interesting! I was just talking the stadium itself but agree if the lots were included, that would greatly increase the costs.
