The renovated interior of Ohio Stadium will now feature a new state-of-the-art smaller scoreboard on the North end, which will be accompanied on each side by illuminated 3-D retired number signs and a list of national championship teams that have worn the scarlet and grey uniforms.
I am thrilled about this for three reasons. First of all, students that sit in the South Stands (me, for instance) don't have to risk cracked vertebrae by turning their necks backwards to see a replay from the giant scoreboard. This increases comfort and an overall better game day experience. Secondly, I have been wondering why OSU doesn't feature any kind of reference to their national championship teams. Almost every other school in the country has something of the sort, yet a school that has 7 of them has zero banners reminding us all of how fortunate we are to be fans of a winning program. It's about time. Finally, it is pretty simple: night games are going to be amazing. The new signs will light up the stadium with a sense of tradition, pride and accomplishment during nationally televised night games in the Shoe from here on out, and that can only boost the atmosphere in Ohio Stadium.
Once again, did you hear that Southern Cal? It. Will. Be. Loud...
