me. If you would turn around from Big Dawg and walk str8 up to the next to last row in lower section, you would run into me. (And probably spill my $7.00 beer)

I am going to have season tix this season for the first time. I dont have PSLs so it is for this year only, for right now. Maybe Babe will keep popping babys out every year and I can have season tix forever.  Well actually I am probablyleaving Ohio when I get done with school so we will see on that forever. KING

Used to. If I get ambitious I'll take a picture of the "shrine" my wife made for me from the old stadium.
Our seats were in the pound.....the 2"X8" boards. Well, after the last game I took my seat with me. My wife painted a Browns helmet on it, affixed my ticket to it, and painted
Dawg Pound
Seat 7
Dec. 17, 1995.
It hangs above the door in my office.

I used to. I go to one game every 1 or 2 years now. Rather than spend 40.00 on a ticket to a Browns game, I spend Sundays hanging out at home with my wife. The money I save goes towards having a nice dinner with her a couple nights a week. If there were no psl fee, I might, and I mean might, have bought season tickets last summer. I am not going to pay over 1,000 off the top for a nonsense psl fee.- It's bad enough that they make you buy preseason games.
It's too bad that people like me have been weeded out by dramatic pricing. I would have used two season tickets to take my 10 yr old nephew to the games. If I could'nt take my nephew, I would have given his father the tickets, so that he could take him.
Dawg pound tickets were around 8.00 each back in the eighties, including inflation, what's that amount to now, maybe 15.00? -Yet, Dawg Pound tickets cost over 40.00 each now. Sorry, but in my case, that money is put to better use.

I have two that I got around this time last year. I got a great deal on Ebay for the PSL's ($26 each - price through the Browns is $1,125 each).
Joe Thomas made Justin Timberlake change his name. He didn't want wusses to have the same initials...

I believe it is 11 am for a noon start and it is at St John Arena accross the street. I think for spring game they do it outside.

This is my 3rd season with season tickets w/Darin and Blade in the upper pound. Love it! My in-laws have 8 seats around the 10 yard line Browns side. Sometimes they hook me up with some seats down there when they can't go.
Our honor defend, we will fight to the end, for OHIO! GO BUCKS!

I do.
I have 2 seats for the Browns and now 2 seats for the Florida Gators. Had 4 for a long time but sold 2 of them to my buddy so he has 6 in a block.

Where can you go to "nice" dinner 2x a week for just $20.?

I have season tix to the Browns but have sold the season to kingo (as he stated). I'll stay home and start teaching Anna all about the Browns at an early age. I'll need it as she'll get an even earlier on the racing season (starts this coming up weekend).
I am hanging on to the PSL though. Not ready to part with that. I want to bring Anna to a game in a couple years and have her sit in Mommy's seats.

The Skull Session starts two hours before kickoff. I'm not sure if they're doing it for the Spring Game... I'd imagine TBDBITL will be doing something for the game though.. My roommate from freshman year and one of my roommates for next year both are in the band so I'll ask one of them. But yea, I'll echo the sentiment that Skull Session is a must for anyone going to their first Buckeye game.
As for season tickets, my family has 3 for the Brownies (Section 516) and we are also in a season ticket group for the Indians. Our seats there are right behind the Indians dugout (Section 162) about 10 rows up. Needless to say they are pretty good. Since I came to tOSU I've also had Football and Basketball season tickets, but that will most likely end after this upcoming year because I won't have the means to continue getting those.
Time and change will surely show

This will be year 3 of my Browns season tickets with my wife. My parents and my uncle and aunt split two seats in the same section, about 6 or 7 rows behind us, so that's fun.
I've gone to just about every home game since about 2003, but I did the poor man's season tickets then (just bought single game tickets to each game).
I am unfamiliar with this feeling of optimism

.
When I went to spring game the year before last they did skull session outside ST Johns rather than inside. They did their whole game day routine for the actual game but werent in their full unis. I think they had on their band pants but were wearing OSU band t shirts.

Hopefully sometime. I can't afford them right now (especially the PSL) but my buddy has great seats for the Cavs and Indians, and pretty decent seats for the Browns. I get to go for free to as many games as I want, but someday I would like to see at least one regular season game from the lower section.

You gotta consider parking bro. Then you gotta consider at least one beer or soda during the game. Then you gotta consider gas. Ticket-40.00 + 10.00 parking + 6.00 for a beer or soda. 56.00! -More than enough for dinner for two at Champps or Outback, or someplace like that.
On top of that, You can't buy just one ticket, ya gotta buy at least two. So now we're talking 2,000 in PSLs + 80.00 a game minimum!

I read a story about Urban Meyer recently. He said that a couple years before becoming UF's head coach, he toured the UF campus. He said that when he checked out "The Swamp" he was amazed because it was full of students who were using it as a common area, a place of gathering.-Sorta like a park.
He could not believe that UF kept the facility open to the general student body like that. -He loved it.
Except during athletic events, is the Swamp usually open to the student body, or did Urban Meyer experience a one time thing?

This will be year 3 for me as well. I have two seats in Section 349. My son and I have attended EVERY game and we've had a blast (win or lose). I was "fortunate" to get my PSLs on eBay for about half what the Browns were charging for those seats at the time. I'm not sure you'd get that kind of deal now!

To be honest, I don't know.
It don't remember it like that when I was there, and I don't get there much except for 1-2-3 Saturdays a year on gameday.
I could find out if you really want, and can't imagine coach Meyer making things up.
On that note...I thought more people would hold Buckeye tickets...anybody support the Bucks???
