Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Not a real good turnout; but I'm thinking that the movie Coco wasn't one that would appeal to college students.

WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT EIGHT TONS OF NACHO CHEESE IS NOT NEARLY ENOUGH
I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.
On Tuesday, we reported that Redditor u/jblosser99 took a picture from the Redcoat and Usher awards that showed that Ohio State fans had consumed, among other things, eight tons of nacho cheese during the 2018 football season.
Once again, here is that picture for posterity:
As this image made its rounds on the internet, the reaction ranged from "holy hell that's a lot of cheese" to "oh, gross" to "damn so much cheese I can't believe it." Sports Illustrated expressed their disgust in terms of F-150s, cool sports bloggers made incredibly hurtful jokes, and everybody had a fun time pretending that eight tons is a lot of nacho cheese for over seven hundred thousand people to eat over the course of a season.
It isn't. And frankly, fellow Ohio State fans, it's a little pathetic and I'm kind of ashamed that we had to be exposed like this.
I'll get to the incredibly painful truth about our collective nacho cheese consumption in approximately 500 words, but the image above also provides a treasure trove of other, equally disappointing information that can put some of this in perspective. We begin each analysis with the knowledge that 713,629 people walked through the gates of Ohio Stadium last season, and we end it upset that our digestive systems didn't give 110%.
25,165 BOXES OF POPCORN SOLD
This particular statistic might upset me more than the nacho cheese. I have literally never in my life been satisfied with the amount of popcorn I have been given to eat. Every time I've been presented with the chance to shove handful after handful of delicious popped corn down my gullet, I get to the bottom of the box or bowl kind of insulted that whoever gave it to me thought that anything less than like four pounds of the stuff was enough to sate my cravings.
As such, twenty five thousand boxes of popcorn for over seven hundred thousand patrons works out to about one box for every 28 people, a ridiculous number which makes me question if you heathens even like popcorn. What the hell are we doing here, guys?

A question for the Old Fogies Respected Elders who have watched games in Ohio Stadium (or other major stadiums) over many decades: did the in-stadium experience change much until recently?
My impression is that the in-stadium experience has changed drastically in the last 15 years or so, but didn't change too much for decades before that. Was the experience of watching a game in Ohio Stadium in 1965 a lot different from the experience of watching a game in Ohio Stadium in 1995?

I saw my first games as a boy scout usher in the mid and late 60's. My best memory from that time was the 1968 TSUN game. I lost my voice for a week. My sense is the experience is not drastically different now. People dress differently, i.e. jerseys and school colors rather than just your everyday clothes. Back in the day it was all about the band, now its that (get your dogs off my lawn) piped in music more than anything. Stadium was as loud with 85,000 as it is now. We still rush the field after big wins. They don't let us take the goal posts to the statehouse anymore. I think people arrived earlier and got in their seats back in the day. I liked that. We still hate tsun.

I was a Boy Scout usher in the 90s. I still remember getting to hang on the old track right behind the team when ND came to the horseshoe.

During the 1994 season we sold hot dogs in the stadium to raise $$ for the RBurg baseball team. Those steps in C deck are a bitch to walk up and down lol but I got to be in the stadium for all the home games that year

I should've included the caveat that I haven't actually been to a game in Ohio Stadium since 1999, and was just assuming that it's undergone largely the same transformation as every stadium I have been in since that time.
To me, the rap/rock music, played loudly at every possible interval over the PA system, is a major change in the experience all by itself. Throw in the video screen that, in most stadiums I've been in recently, is big enough and positioned so that it almost dominates the actual play in meat space. Throw in further the ribbon screens for constant display of flashing advertisements, and you cumulatively get a constant barrage of electronic stimulus that I don't think was really present 20+ years ago. I first noticed this in the early aughts when I watched The Greatest Show on Turf (St. Louis Rams). Being in a dome made it worse, but I walked out of there thinking, "Good Lord, did I just go to a football game, or a rave?" Virtually every sporting event I've been to since has been the same, but moreso.
