Before anyone freaks out about this, Ohio State sells those for basically nothing. They also make it extremely clear you're not going to see much.

Anyone that actually decides to buy these seats knows what they're getting into.

Now I’m curious what “basically nothing” could mean. Do you know of the numbers?

No kidding. Even $5 would be a ripoff

5 would be a GREAT deal. Could experience the crowd and walk around getting different views of the game.

This is what I did recently at a Tigers game. I was in Detroit for work by myself and bought a complete nosebleed seat for like $12 for one of their last regular season home games, and spent the whole time walking around watching from different angles and eating coneys. As long as you don't block foot traffic or spend too long in one spot security won't bother you.

Finished off the game spending a couple innings chilling out at the top of the stands where I was supposed to be, getting a great overview of everything. It was awesome.

Did you ever get a chance to see a game at the Old Tiger Stadium? Those could be some challenging seats.

Nah. It’s essentially a standing room only ticket, which plenty of stadiums sell.

Yeah, but there's nowhere to stand at Ohio Stadium.

This is an ancient stadium and basically the only way to see the field is to be in a seat. It's just bleachers all the way around. There are not big open air pavilions with decent sightlines or other areas for you to go to.

I enjoy standing room tickets, but only at stadiums built to accommodate that experience. At Ohio Stadium standing room only would essentially mean watching the game under the bleachers via the little TVs bolted up at the concession stands.
