I think it's unrealistic. Last year we had 72K. 76,500 (2009) is the

record. You are looking to beat that by almost 24,000 fans. We had 3 regular season home games last year that did not draw 100K. I just hope we get 70K or more.

Not for a 4 pm game.

Many would plan to make a day trip for the day and the later start makes that tougher.

I believe going back to the earlier start, preceded by the autograph session, results in the highest attendance as long as there is a good weather forecast.

Weather looks to be mid 60's and some rain....


temps are OK, but the rain may be enough to keep people away.

Agreed....


This ain't the regular season.
B/W game depends on families. Families are not going to want to face the reality of cranky kids who have had nothing of substance to eats since breakfast, if that. Some of those rides home are going to be excruciating.

The time shift is bad for the game. No doubt about it.

The real reason for the 4:00 start is to be seen live on BTN. OSU has the 1:30 spot.

That has to be the correct answer. *
