Posted on Spring Game and T Shirt threads for max exposure...

OK guys I have gotten a lot of PM on where to set up. I have been there every year for the last 10 or so years and have always parked in the French Field House parking lot (Stadium side) Great place to tailgate, but not a lot of passersby to sell shirts and stuff. I mentioned the Fawcett Center only because I usually park there or in the Woody Hayes Center for regular games. Tons of people and if you get there early enough to get a primo spot, all of them will walk right past you to get to the Stadium. That being said, I have never parked there for a Spring Game and don't know how packed it gets not being a sold out event. This is where I need to here from anybody that has parked there before. Also, one thing I think we are gonna have to clear up is that tOSU/Columbus has a STRICT policy on selling things on gamedays. A vending license is a must if people are going to make selling these shirts a high profile thing. It would suck to make all kinds of money for the site, only to have to use it to pay off court costs and fines. I have a few guys that have generously volunteered to help me take up some space early in the morning, so we can go pretty much where ever we want.
Please respond with ideas, suggestions, thoughts, etc....

I will be in the fawcett center parking lot like I said at probably 6 or 6:30. Hell I may even camp out the spot. I work 2nd shift and work 2 blocks away from the shoe. Like I said I have a tent maybe 2 flat screen and the dvd player grill . I am bringing a few of my friends so I may be their with a few other Bpers.

Fawcett map

Here's a map to where the Fawcett Center (#284) is for those of you who are not as familiar with tOSU's campus, as I was before I looked it up. The basketball arena is 081, and the football stadium is down and to the leftfrom this photograph. Navigate on the linked page, you'll figure it out.

Do you get actual seats for the spring game? Or do you just get an admission ticket, and then just sit wherever?

Keep an eye out on www.hangonsloopy.com
They should have the tickets up in the near future. They are $5 and are general admission. I usually go in about an hour before kickoff and can sit on the 50 yd line. I think it would be cool if we all go in together with our shirts on. One big sea of BP !!!

Fawcett Center is official. Some us will be there at 6am and setting up, feel free to come as early or late as you want but I would like to get as many people to walk to the stadium together in mass. Hoping this will serve as a huge ad for BP and get people interested to join and donate. Maybe we can double the tailgates for the fall games. Directions are pretty simple:

Exit from 315 onto Lane Ave. and go towards campus past the Schott. Make a left on Olentangy River Rd. Fawcett Center is on the right.

Info has been posted throughout this thread. I summed it up and placed everything I know (on the original post if this thread) for a fact right now. We are still discussing other things but the location is for sure. I will be PMing everyone that is on the list on page one of this thread some things we need to know shortly.

Thank you for the compliments. I have had a ton of help on this though. BuckeyeFROMscUM, BuckeyeNation27, OilerBuck, & ScarletInMyVeins and others for their continuing hard work on the shirts. Clarity for approving this whole thing, and as far as he goes, for having this board in the first place. Without that, most of us would have never met in the first place. MililaniBuckeye, osugrad21, 3yardsandacloud and all the other moderators that keep the BP ship sailing smooth. Last but not least all the members that have gotten back to me and are interesting in making this all work. I have given everyone that has posted on the thread some green chiclets. It may not be much, but I just wanted to show my appreciation for the support. Maybe you all can return the favor and give all the guys I have mentioned above a few of those little green jewels and thank them for the opportunity as well.

Sorry to hijack this thread a little bit, but I was curious who will be coming to the SG that has game recordings on dvd from this season (or the 04 fiesta, or other recent great games other than the 03 fiesta). No need to further hijack this thread, if you do please send me a PM as I would like to discuss this with you further.

Actually, I'm also having trouble tracking down threads about dvds, therefore I'm not sure who a couple of the main dvd makers were. If you even know who I should check with about this sort of thing (ie Mili was about the only one I remember), send me a PM with that info too. Thanks.

Someone please post some important info on this thread so I feel less bad about hijacking it :)
