Ohio Stadium (Official Thread)

[Zurp]

We had row 1 of C deck one year. Awesome. Probably the best seats I've ever had.

We had row 2 of AA deck one year. Awesome. The game was great when the action was at our end of the field (open end). But it was tough when it was at the opposite end.

I personally like C deck best. You can typically see the whole field, from endzone to endzone.

OSU panel approves increase in football student tickets By Associated Press
POSTED: 09:47 a.m. EST, Nov 29, 2007
Ohio State is moving toward giving more students a chance to experience Buckeyes games from seats inside ??the 'Shoe.??
Ohio Stadium would offer another 3,500 student tickets for each football game, under a plan approved Wednesday night by the university's athletic council. The total number of tickets for students would be raised to 30,000 per game, and officials say that's more than at any other college in the country.
The proposal will be presented to university leaders early next year.
Ohio State says it can offer extra student tickets because other categories of fans, including alumni, donors and faculty members, typically don't use all the tickets set aside for them.
The Athletic Council also has approved $2 increases in football ticket prices.

If the ticket increase is approved for next year, the Athletics Department will start meeting with student groups to determine whether all students should be moved to the north end of the stadium as in years past, or whether extra students should be divided between the south stands and the north end, Jones said.

30,000 students in the closed end of the 'Shoe would be insane.

Finally. This will turn us into a student section second to none.

This is good news!!! I would like to see a louder stadium if all of the students were gathered in the North end.
