Boy oh boy do I wish I was going to this game, but I'm going to be farther away from Huntington than Monroe on game day.  It's a little hard to believe that this will be the case, but the facts are the facts.  I probably should be whipped with a wet Ohio green noodle for taking a trip at this time.  (I have some good excuses, but I'll spare you that enumeration.)  All I can say is that I'll be watching the Marshall webcast and rooting as hard as I can for Old Ohio!  Go 'Cats! 

one thing you can count on, the blathering Herd fans will take credit for every green shirt in the joint, no matter what shade it is or where it is sitting or how many of them cheer when the Cats score.

My dad and I will be infiltrating the Marshall box suites with our Ohio gear on. May be a little awkward when Ohio is up a couple TDs

I just looked online through herdzone.com

For two tickets together, best available was putting me in section 109, row 45. These are on visitor's side, a few sections down from the official Ohio visiting section, about midfield, and will run you $50 for the pair if you enter the promo code "MEDICAL"

For two tickets together at your cheapest "get me in the door," it was section 228, row 19. I actually sat in this area for the Marshall-Va.Tech game last season. It's not a bad seat. It's in the endzone, but gives you a decent vantage point. These are $30 with the promo code.

Here's a seating chart for comparison. http://www.herdzone.com/tickets/m-footbl-seating-chart.html

I'm sure if you actually called, you could probably name your section.

I'm an Ohio grad living locally and entered a few contests to win free tickets, so I'm waiting until those drawings tomorrow (Thursday) to buy my tickets. I called the ticket office to ask if I waited until tomorrow, would I be left in the cold. A girl, probably college student, answered and said "Oh no, you'll be all right."

I went to that Va.Tech game last year. It was a good draw, but not sure it was an official sellout. Hokies were ranked in top 15 in both polls at the time and official attendance was 34,424. I would love to see a great crowd, but I think 30,000 is more likely and attainable.

Go 'Cats.

OhioPilot,

This will be about what your view looks like. I took this during the Marshall-Va.Tech game last year.

I will be wearing black so as not to confuse West Virginians of my loyalties.

not bad at all. Cant complain for 15 bucks a pop.

Finally purchased tickets for myself (Ohio grad) and wife (Marshall), so I guess we cancel out each other.

Anyway, a tip possibly for those using the "MEDICAL" $10 off promo through herdzone.com

I was hunting through the cheapies, the $15 endzone seats. That's after the $10 discount. All other tickets are $25, normally $35. The endzone seats aren't bad there, though. I posted the picture above. I forget if that's section 228 or 230, but you'll get the idea.

At first, the online return gave me section 230, row, 31, seats 37-38. You can’t pick your seat like you can, for example through the Reds' website, unless you call. I kept the tickets in my cart and selected to add more, hoping it would eventually bump me to seats 1-2 in the row behind, so we could be on the end to come and leave as we please. My second selection gave me row 31, seats 41-42. I tried a third time and got row 30, seats 1-2.

I dumped the first two selections and opted for the final. Instead of getting seats 1-2 in row 32, like I figured would eventually happen, I got seats 1-2 a row ahead. Someone must have been looking at those tickets and decided not to get them, or their system is screwy. Either way, I feel like I beat the system a little, lol.

See you all at the Joan on Saturday!
