Team entrance is probably very easy to find out. We can ask Friday night at the party. We were able to watch team come in at Oklahoma and other stadiums.
Facebook me or message me on here and we can exchange names and contact info.
Did you get your tickets yet?

I'm excited to see the Shoe, but I imagine that will wear off after the 3rd playing of their fight song in the first quarter.

Teambeer - Look forward to seeing you. Will you be at the Friday night event?
JB - I've been out of college athletics for four years now, so don't take this as gospel, but typically the home team has to give the away team 200 - 250 tickets. Most of those are set aside for parents and other guests of the players … typically four per person. Then the remaining tickets go on sale for the visiting team with a due date to return them back to the home team. I don't know where the visiting team is sitting, but it's usually all together in one or two sections. Some teams put the visiting team in the upper-most corner; others in the lower-most corner behind the home bench. I hope to be in the lower section. And yes, FAU is not assigning seats until they have to turn in the tickets. Usually donors get the "better seats." In Oklahoma, all of us were in one section. I image it will be the same at tOSU.
And Teambeer: the fight song is one thing. The O-H…. I-O chant… that will get tiring. Heck, I've lived in southeast Ohio for three years and if it's not that chant on the streets, it's a WVU chant. WVU I can cheer for. tOSU …. I'm still sour from the National Championship game vs. Miami.

I was thinking about taking my son to the Ohio St game but decided to go to Charlotte instead. His bday is that weekend but I definitely want to experience the horse shoe but not to excited for it to be my Owls losing by big numbers.

Might also be my away game, not too far a drive (FIU has been my only away game [in conference] attended so far, curious to see atmospheres at other CUSA schools.
