About Buckeye Football

Ohio Stadium saw its largest crowd on October 25, 2008, with 105,711 fans in attendance for the Buckeyes' match up against rivals, the Penn State Nittany Lions.  Ohio State lost that game to the Nittany Lions by the score of 13-6. The game broke an attendance record set in a 2006 contest with Michigan by having three more fans in attendance.  Mel Kiper has stated that Ohio Stadium has the second-best atmosphere of any college venue, "second only to Penn State," and Beano Cook said, "There is nothing better than when the Ohio State Marching Band and the sousaphone player dots the 'i' for Script Ohio."

The crowd attending these home games is known for creating harsh and difficult environments for opponents. University of Iowa coach Hayden Fry complained after a 1985 loss that the fans were too loud for his quarterback, Chuck Long, to call plays and suggested sound meters be used to gauge the noise level, penalizing home teams if there was too much noise. He said, "It's a realistic fact that happened. He became mentally disturbed for the first time since he's been a starter for us because of his inability to communicate."

According to a study performed by researchers at Sports Library.net in 2006, Ohio State's 13-7 win over Penn State in 2002 registered the loudest crowd noise ever at the stadium.
