The changes are covered under the university’s contract with Extreme Networks, which also provides Wi-Fi services on campus, and will not cost Baylor additional money.

“Wi-Fi is very personal — if my Wi-Fi is not working, the whole stadium is down,” Orr said. “We want every fan’s Wi-Fi to work well.”

Baylor anticipated having to make adjustments to the Wi-Fi network and other technology at the stadium since the grand facility would be serving so many people at one time, said Bob Hartland, Baylor’s associate vice president of information technology infrastructure.

The university had to make similar adjustments when it rolled out Wi-Fi to all of the residence halls on campus last year.

“When we put Wi-Fi in a new building or add it to an area, it’s really an educated guess on your original design, and until you get it up and running and occupants are in the space, you won’t know what else you have to do,” Hartland said. “It’s not unusual to have the tuning process as part of the complete package.”

New Wi-Fi antennas already were added or moved around at McLane Stadium after the Aug. 31 home opener. Orr said a team of Wi-Fi coaches who roam the stadium have been gathering feedback from fans on areas where the signal may not be as strong.
