I'm so curious what the gameday atmosphere is like. Any kind of tailgate scene? Any sort of vibe in town? How about inside the stadium? Any kind of student section? Any unique touches?
The "atmosphere" was like a bright light (sun) interrogation in a sauna! Hot- Brutal Hot and Humid!
I arrived only 30 mins before game start. Not long at all to get into and parked at the lot right next to the stadium. Bought ticket at window pretty quick. So did not see a lot of pre-game tailgaiting but saw there was some, then more so past lots I did not see coming in on the way out.
Nice looking stadium and facilities - first time there. But - that field - awful - looked like someone forgot to sweep the floor - or that it had dandruff - Yuck!
Some good craft beers available. Standard concession fare on visitors side - not sure about the home side as did not check it out.
Big stadium that looked pretty empty. Home side not even half full. Visitors side - the 1/3 of it that was not covered up under tarps - was mostly HS bands as it was band day. I estimated about 100 Bobcat fans in that section (I thought there would be more - but the brutal heat forecast may have kept some away). There were others scattered around the stadium.
I am glad we don't have the track at Peden like they do - front row seats and you are 25 yds from the field. All seats are general admission -sit anywhere you want.
Scoreboard - not really much better than our temp one - but the sound speakers are LOUD!
Student section - pretty lame. Same with the band.
When the home crowd tried to get loud late in the game when OHIO had the ball - not really that loud - but prolly cause not that big a crowd.
Did not have time to check out near campus town scene - had to get back on the road home - Not a bad 3:15 min drive after a Win!
