The concert was great, but the venue...

Ohio Stadium???? What a dilapidated dump!

First time I have ever had to wait in line for the men's room at a football stadium. Restroom only had 4 stalls and 4 urinals. WTH???

When we got into Columbus, I pointed and said to my wife, "There's the stadium." She just replied with "Where????". She couldn't see it because it just blends in with all the other rot and dreariness that is the Industrial Northern Rust Belt.

Ohio Stadium accomplished a feat I thought was impossible... A facility worse than that toilet bowl in Knoxville.

Went to a game there about 5 years ago. Terrible. Ugly people, ugly weather.

Columbus has absolutely zero personality. It's just urban sprawl.

Cincinnati is where it’s at. Columbus made me think there was no hope in that state until I had to spend a couple months in Cincy. Love that town and the people. Those folks know their sports! Doesnt hurt to see Burrow/Chase jersey’s wherever you go too lol

All of those neon vests you saw weren't people doing community service. Those were hunters

This is the real reason. If not for this you probably label Cincy as some shitehole.

Saw Stevie Nicks & Joe Walsh in the Hump about 40 years ago. That was a great concert and they were both tremendous.
Obviously the Hump being a coliseum is a much better venue than a stadium for a concert for many reasons.

Most Southerners would not know a good stadium experience. Ohio Stadium is probably the best in college football.

Thats because people here aren't fat like they are down south.

Shoot. Some of the fattest football fans I’ve seen in many years of attending games were from Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan. They all look well fed. Especially the women.
