Does the department not have a ticket sales team anymore? I remember a few years ago they had a full student staff that really increased attendance, along with those family Packs. We’ve really gone down hill. Back to Top .

The plan failed. Those people were only in those corner seats because it was cheap.

That alone makes this crowd more impressive than probably 95% of the rest.

I understand the thought process, but it sure was nice having that one corner filled up most weeks early in the season.

What happened? Less student interest? Seemed like a good student crowd there. Where are the locals / Columbus alumni base? I was thinking of driving from Chicagoland to see this one, now I wish I would have! What a day at the Convo.....Wow!

And on ISU's last possession you could hear the crowd yelling "defense." Maybe ESPNU just had a mic in the right place. One problem with our slow-down offense is that it takes the crowd out of the game. It's hard to yell for a full 40 seconds when the players are just standing around. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Just for Athens High School alone, you had a volleyball match, golf match, boys soccer, girls soccer, and middle school volleyball and soccer. Then there was the PawPaw festival. Lots going on today so the crowd we saw late looked pretty darn good considering.

When's the last time the $uckeyes worried about a drop in attendance at the Shoe because of middle school volleyball and "the PawPaw festival"? Just two different worlds. It is what it is - good win today. Back to Top L.C.

Ohio limited ISU to only 47 total plays for the entire game, while Ohio had 69. That's a massive difference. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top bobcatsquared General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Post Count: 5,262 Status: Offline     RE: Most Disappointing Crowd Ever?    Posted: 9/16/2023 6:42:25 PM  Really impressed with the student section. I don't think there's a MAC school that rivals it. Shared several predictions with my son about this game, beginning with a midweek prediction of an Ohio victory. Most of these predictions proved correct until the final one. I was telling about the students rushing the field after the OT win v. Pitt in Frank's first season, a year before my son was born. I told him that OUr students would rush the field again today with the final seconds ticking off. For some reason - lack of initiative? security? - there was no rushing on the field. Still, a good showing by the Ohio students.

Even for P5 in the building, there was no dramatic finish and ISU is not ranked.

That said, I thought the crowd was solid and they stayed engaged. Kudos to the students, especially this that we’re leading cheers late in the 4th qtr. And kudos to ISU fans for traveling despite expecting an easy win (I’m guessing).

Didn’t hear the announced crowd, but it felt like 24K+.. There were several hundred people - including myself - who escaped under the Sook Center balcony for long stretches.

Iowa State didn't travel very well. I'd say 1,5000 to 2,000 max. Their traveling base seemed preppy/well to do like OU grads who would follow Ohio St. Student attendance was solid but not at the 2015 level. There are 3,000 less undergraduates. If half go to a football game like this then it's 1,500 students less to occupy the victory hill.

Probably the biggest win at home in program history since Pitt in 2005. I’m very happy with my fellow students turning out, entire student section was packed through first half and held strong for the whole game. I thought we were all pretty engaged and made some serious noise. I don’t think they would have let us rush the field anyway - a crowd of us tried last year when we defeated BGSUCKS - security shut that down pretty quick. But again, not really a game that deserves a field rush - excited about this team. Defense is stacked - I’m sure offense will pick up soon. Thought we were a bit conservative in play calling but it worked out in the end.
