I was there during the VY heyday, they weren't hostile then either. Just not their style.Yeah, I was thinking back in terms of when they were relatively competitive. But recently, that place could probably be compared to Da U and their home games.

OHIO STADIUM IS HOME TO MORE THAN JUST THE BUCKEYE FOOTBALL TEAM
Wednesday night, Ohio Stadium played host to international soccer clubs Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain as part of this season's International Champions Cup.
For many Buckeye fans, a soccer field inside the confides of The Horseshoe was an odd site, but it wasn't the first time Ohio Stadium has been used for something other than Buckeye football games, or as a soccer venue for that matter.
Ohio Stadium has been the host of many events throughout its nearly-century long history; it's not just for Buckeye football. Let's take a look back at the different functions The Horseshoe has served during its lifespan.
SOCCER
Wednesday night was not the first time soccer has been played inside The Horseshoe. From 1996-98, the Columbus Crew called Ohio Stadium home.
The Columbus Crew in the 'Shoe.
Given that it was not intended to be a soccer venue, it had its issues. Due to the track surrounding the field, the field was the smallest in Major League Soccer measuring 62 yards in width and 106 yards in length, and at the time there was no permanent lighting at the stadium.
Because Major League Soccer crowds are much smaller than that of Buckeye football games, B Deck, C Deck, and the seats in the south stands were closed to fans making official capacity 25,243.
The Crew played their first 48 games in the 'shoe before moving a few miles north to Mapfre Stadium, which provides a more intimate, soccer friendly atmosphere.
CONCERTS
Ohio Stadium has been the site for numerous concerts, utilizing it's enormous capacity to draw equally enormous crowds.
The Horseshoe hosted its first concert in 1988 when Pink Floyd played in front of over 63,000 fans. Since then, Ohio Stadium has played host to Billy Joel and Elton John, Pink Floyd once again, Metallica, the Rolling Stones (twice), U2, One Direction, and others.
Most recently, the stadium has been used for Buckeye Country Superfest in the summers of 2015 and 2016, drawing crowds totaling over 90,000 across the multi-day event.

Thank You!!!! My 4 year old son asks on at least a weekly basis on the way to daycare, "why is the buckeye gone?". Today he noticed it was different and made a similar comment. He will now be at peace.

Boy I'd like to be a fly on the wall when John Cooper tells that sign company owner it's actually Buckeye Stadium.
He's going to feel stooooopid

There were cheers and clapping in the car at 7am, led by the 4 year old and supported by the 2 year old.
Followed shortly by, " when are we going to the game, did we miss it"

I've had maybe 2 or 3 games in the B deck where the pillars weren't completely blocking my view of 1/4 of the field. Then I went to scUM-OSU in 2012 and the Hawaii game last year, both were staring at a concrete pillar for half the game. Thought I liked B deck before those two games. Not so much anymore.
