I saw them unload the Eddie George sign, looked terrific...the old signs felt kind of temporary even though they were up for several years, will be a very nice improvement. New scoreboards on the north and the upgrades on E and W should really class up the joint, should look great at night

I thought the stadium upgrades where very nice. The retired numbers were sweet with the highlights behind them along with the national title years the side streams were alittle distracting at first but they blended in well later on. I like the new scoreboards. Great mix of modern and historical overall.

I liked the changes. Especially being in Block O, now I don't have to turn around to see replays anymore with the LCD big screen addition. I also like where they moved the Woody Hayes banner.

I would still turn around, I found it very hard to see the North Scoreboard to make out a close play (like if it was a fumble or how a caught it etc.) I sat in the south stands BDeck row 22, or somewhere around there, and still found my self turning around to look at the video board cause it was really hard to see it.

A Walk in Our 'Shoe : the history of Ohio Stadium

1976_ohio_stadium.jpg

Seen alternately as a building no one thought OSU football games could fill and an engineering marvel comparable to the Coliseum of Rome, Ohio Stadium has reflected the changing ambitions and enthusiasms of the Ohio State community and the nation at large. Completed in 1922, built in little over a year for a little more than $1 million, the Stadium was to unite students and fans in displays of wholesome athleticism. After countless renovations and repairs ? including a student dorm, three generations of artificial grass, and five press boxes ? the building has become a physical support for a contemporary media experience. Throughout its history, the Stadium has accommodated social, economic and technological change, and remains the spot where fans gather together to show their devotion to OSU.
