The Ohio State Buckeyes are one of the legendary and historic programs in all of college football.

As such, their facilities need to reflect both the history and future of the storied program. Ohio State has spared no expense in upgrading both the Horseshoe and the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, helping to keep it one of the top college football facilities in the country.

The Woody Hayes Athletic Center, which houses the Buckeyes' championship wall in the lobby, features state-of-the-art locker rooms and a strength training area. Its $7.8 million upgrade — the  — was completed in recent years. There's an improved 42,000-square-foot players lounge, a kitchen and nutrition area, a barber shop, a basketball court, a golf simulator, an arcade, a cryotherapy chamber, sleep pods and an illuminated waterfall in a locker room filled with lots of steel and lots of scarlet. Ohio State opened its renovated dining facility inside the WHAC in 2019, highlighted by pool tables, Pop-A-Shot basketball games and film rooms where position groups break down footage from games or practices.
