Just try to think of all the dumb things that are written on message boards and apply that to anything you see on Bleacher Report.

I'm thinking they will be a shade under that tomorrow for the scrimmage, though, so I bet anyone that wants to go can still get in without a ticket.

Found it interesting Marshall came in as the 3rd worse. In all seriousness, at some point Peden is going to have to be expanded to at least 30,000. If it were me planning the eventual expansion, I would completely tear down the student side of the stadium and build something that would connect to those awful corners. It would be easier just to build new concession, rest rooms, visiting locker rooms than attempt to renovate that side of the stadium. I really believe that Peden is a really pretty stadium in a beautiful setting.

I think going with more seats only makes sense when there is an enormous demand for it. A demand so strong that the games are sold out before the season even begins. I don't know if Ohio will ever get to that point and we may just have to be content with selling out our football stadium 3-4 times a year. What might make a lot of sense on the student side if they could knock out the back wall of the student section, open things up, and add a concession park behind the stadium with a larger student entrance and upgraded restrooms. Have a concession park where the Burrito Buggy could be stationed at the stadium on game days. Improved food would keep more students staying past half time.

That would be a huge change in mentality for the university, but would mean that sellouts would be the norm.

It just shows up on their tuition bill instead of being collected at the door.
