Word is Ohio State is giving serious thought to playing a spring football scrimmage at Cleveland Browns Stadium next April, in addition to its annual Scarlet-Gray game in Columbus. OSU officials reportedly are weighing the cost of holding a second scrimmage here. But there's no question OSU would draw mobs of fans for a spring game in the 73,000-plus stadium.

This may happen, but I would not rely on this reporter to give an credible information. He is just a gossip columnist that they stuck in the sports section.

Why would you do that? Do you think you could get more fans in Cleveland than Columbus? I doubt it. First of all the South side of the state may make the trip to Columbus, but only the sick dihards like us would travel that far for a spring game. You eliminate half of you fan base. Plus not area is filled with more dihards that the home base Columbus Ohio anyway. IF they do it, what a dumb idea.

The stadium would be packed. But it would kind of cut off the souther half of the state. Plus Cleveland Browns stadium is nice but it's not the shoe. The spring game is one of the things I look foreward to every year. You really get to meet the dihard fans there.

Are there NCAA or conference restrictions on the number of jersey scrimmages a team can have? Sounds like a great opportunity for our young guys to get more experience.

As a Clevelander, I'm biased, but I think it may have a hidden benefit. It would be nice to tell recruits that their 2nd Spring practice is going to be in an NFL Stadium. Give the kids a taste of what they are shooting for. We don't have the bling-bling of USC/Miami per se, but this might help give a little spark to some recruits, IMHO.

There is a limit on the number of scrimmages a team can have.
I don't see how they could possible pack the stadium in Cleveland. If you're only getting 50K in the mecca of college football for the spring game, how can you fill a stadium for a scrimmage two hours away from home when you're cutting off the bottom half of the state. I'm a diehard and there is NO WAY I'd drive 4 hours for a regular scrimmage.

guys, you're missing the point (I think)
in addition to its annual Scarlet-Gray game in Columbus
Basically he's saying that OSU is considering holding either its first jersey scrimmage or it its kick scrimmage (not as likely, IMO) in C-town. These scrimmages usually aren't even open to the public more often than not. |
