Triva Quiz ... Ohio Stadium

Administrator Emeritus
Well the offseason is a bit slow. I thought I'd throw out a little Buckeye Trivia so we can kill some time. The first part is on Ohio Stadium. If anyone likes it I'll also add a quiz on players, coaches, etc. Let me know if I should post the answers here (on this thread) or if you want to make this a competition where everyone lists their answers and we crown a winner (that might be hard since everyone will see everyone else's answers). Oh well, let's kill some clock.
