Pokemon Go is coming to a college football stadium near you.
If you’ve spent the last few days on vacation and unplugged from the happenings in the real world, then you may be the only person in the country unaware of the Pokemon Go phenomenon sweeping the nation.
If you don’t know what Pokemon Go is, you may want to ask your son or daughter. Heck, I’m not even entirely sure what it’s all about. I mean, I graduated from college before many of you reading this article were even born. Needless to say, I’m not hip with the latest trends and gadgets.
However, it would appear that the college football world is trying to stay on top of the trend that is commanding the attention of millions of people across the country. Powerhouse programs like USC and Ohio State are jumping on the trend and will make valuable characters available at their stadiums this fall.

Not that USC or Ohio State needed any additional help selling out their stadiums, but the Pokemon Go lure will undoubtedly bring in fans in droves this fall with Pokemon Go fans who may or may not also be interested in the Trojans or the Buckeyes, rather they just want the characters.
