Ohio Stadium is slowly becoming an ice rink. Here's what Ohio State President Ted Carter had to say about the process.

Preparations are well underway at Ohio Stadium, which will host its first National Hockey League game next month. Perhaps the most important feature to the March 1 showdown between the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Detroit Red Wings is being implemented Tuesday: The ice.

Ohio Stadium has played host to numerous different events over its very long history, including numerous matchups between teams from Columbus and Michigan. There will be another one on March 1, but this will be very different from all the others it has hosted.
