O-H-I-O

Yesterday I took a vacation day (I have 2 left and I lose them if I haven't used them by the end of the month) and my parents came down for the afternoon.  We ate lunch, chit-chatted, and when Andrew got back from classes we decided to take advantage of the tours they were giving for prospective students coming into Ohio State of the football stadium.  We figured Jake might go there someday (he's a prospective student, right?).

But wow.  It's crazy huge!  It holds 105,000 people, and see that black portion of the screen on the huge monitor at the top of the first picture below?  The black section alone, where they show what's going on on the field, is as big as a basketball court!  And what's crazier is they are replacing it with a bigger one soon.

After spending some time on the filed, we got to see the press box- Andrew and my dad were in their glory.

Then we headed to a suite- it was pretty impressive!  It costs a whopping $70k a year- and that doesn't even include any food!

On our way out we said a quick "hi" to Brutus the Buckeye and considered our trip to the stadium a big success!
