Donna and I lucked into a pair of tickets to the Ohio State game last weekend versus Northwestern. It was the perfect opportunity to catch a game since Al from San Fran was visiting for the weekend and already planned to go to the game with our old buddy Troy. I usually get to a game every year or two, but Al hadn’t gone to one in 15 years and Troy hadn’t been in 5.
We bought the tickets at face value (still pretty pricey at $60 a piece) without knowing where they were. Walking into the stadium with low expectations, we were amazed how incredible the seats turned out to be. We were at the endzone, first row, probably 20′ from the endzone’s corner marker. After seeing so many games in the ‘shoe, it was really cool to see this new perspective. At nearly ground level you get a real look at the players’ field of vision and a real appreciation for their speed. There was plenty scoring to watch as the Buckeyes destroyed the Wildcats, 58 to 7. The pictures from my phone just don’t do it justice:
