I'm all for it if it a road game. I'd much rather play at Crew stadium (or heck, a mall parking lot) than another black friday game at Kent.
If they could set up an annual game between OHIO and Kent State for Black Friday in Columbus Crew stadium I think it would be a winner. Ohio has 30,000 alumni in metro Columbus, double the amount than what they have in all the counties that comprise Southeast Ohio. A huge local alumni presence, close enough for the local Athens fan base to drive up and do some Christmas shopping and more convenient for most of our alumni across the state to attend then making a game down in Athens. No issues about hotels if you want to stay the night in Columbus. Alcohol served in the stadium. It sounds like a great way to juice up the season ticket packages. As long as the game sells at least 12,500 its better than what sales would be on either Ohio or Kent's campus. Kent is a huge school that could bring a nice crowd, so realistically 8,000 to 10,000 Bobcat fans would be enough interest to make this happen. ESPN might want to bump this up to a game on the deuce instead of ESPNU with it being played in large market Columbus. I wouldn't move the game with Miami off campus but with Kent it makes perfect sense. Then Ohio fans would have a third major regular season series to look forward to beyond Miami and Marshall.
