    BEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL ATMOSPHERE

    When you enter Ohio Stadium, you walk into hallowed grounds. The history, the traditions, the love, the fun, the cheers, the teams, the wins (and losses), the band...so much to enjoy and revel in.

    Fun! Fun! Fun!

    Great game but recommend eating before you go. Food selection extremely limited and expensive. Bathrooms very crowded, plan accordingly.
