They could still do concerts and stuff there to make money for OSU but yeah, games in there don't impressI was hoping to read that they were imploding that mausoleum.

Too soon old, too late smart
Believe y'all are correct, the 'powers that be' designed the Schott for concerts to maximize the pocketbook instead of giving us a basketball venue to cherish. Guess they've corrected with the Covelli Center (women's bball?) and 'other sports'. No one wants to admit to making a $110 million dollar mistake, so gonna have to live with it. But I do remember the Astrodome hosting Phi Slamma Jamma vs. Doctors of Dunk (Houston vs Louisville), and the place was rocking. So, it can be done.

Should lop off the entire top section. Make every seat worth buying and get crowds into the sports game.

Ohio State considers new $5.2 million Schottenstein Center scoreboard
Ohio State University’s board of trustees will vote next week on whether to replace the Schottenstein Center scoreboard.The Board of Trustees will meet on Wednesday, and a new Schottenstein Center scoreboard is on the agenda for approval. If approved, the $5.2 million project would replace the existing scoreboard, 360-degree ribbon board and any outdated LED boards or signs.
According to the project data plans, the new scoreboard would be designed between June and September and built between April and September 2026. Project plans said the replacement was planned separately from a plan to modernize athletics’ technology to accommodate event schedules at the arena.
The six-month gap between the design process and construction phase will provide time to order materials in advance to ensure installation can be done around scheduled events. The Schottenstein Center’s event calendar only lists performances through Dec. 13, but the space will host the Jonas Brothers, John Legend and Lorde this year.

Am counting the days until some knucklehead brings up the razing of St. John for parking places. Again. Am guessing that since technology 'turns over' every 3-5 years, it's time to update for a new scoreboard. Crazy stupid, I know, that money could be better spent on a proven 7 footer that can rebound, run the floor, and average 20 a game. Men OR Women.
