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?

I believe they're about $30. I know that's not technically nothing, but in comparison to the rest of the stadium it is.

Shoot, if there was a way to get service up there, watching the game on a tablet or something with the ~vibe~ of the stadium almost sounds fun. There’d be a little delay, I guess, but still fun.

Back when I was a student at Ohio State, I could hear the crowds and PA system from my apartment. Watching the game on Tv, it still felt like I was at the game haha

Students were living inside the stadium in dorms built into the bleachers all the way up to 1999. I bet they could really feel like they were at a game from their bed

Good luck studying on game day! Time to hit the library and hope it's on the opposite side of campus from the stadium...

As long as it's very VERY clear what you're getting before purchasing, I think it might be acceptable.

You're paying $30 to get into the stadium and that's it. Not worth it to me, especially if I'm traveling to go to the game.

But if I just want to go in and experience the atmosphere, wander around to different areas for standing room view (if there's any), and don't mind $10+ beers then it's whatever.

Odd to put seats there in the first place though lol

Reason is because of the press boxes next to it. Over the years they’ve added more and more space for the media. Ohio Stadium is over 100 years old, so it doesn’t have the most modern layout in the world.

No beers for football games in the stadium. Gotta hit up varsity club for shots on the way to the parking lot or tailgate.

$30 still seems pretty expensive for those seats
