As of now, the lots aren't opening until 3. That is so damn stupid that I cannot put it into words. Ticket office says they will update if any changes occur.

Hoosier Room for donors on gameday/athletes dining hall, old and new (there will be outdoor seats like the ones up by the Hall Of Champions and tables in front of this area and the adjacent suite): Wider view of rooftop terrace...Will have restrooms and two concession areas (one regular stand and one grill type stand underneath the scoreboard):

It was announced it was going to be in the stadium a month ago when this was all first announced. It was never going to be outside. This is a special edition of gameday like when they go to The Rose Bowl and set up inside the stadium. They were never going to have an outdoor segment on a Thursday on a school day. With that said, they are still going to have plenty of crowd shots and cameras running around. They will show fans in and out of the stadium. ESPN is sending the full Gameday crew and having four hours of live pregame coverage from the stadium. If you get into the stadium to watch the show on the big screen, you will likely get on TV. Gates open at 5:30 for the 6pm show. Considering how much ridiculous coverage we are getting for this, including two separate pregame shows, College Football Live airing from the stadium, and literally seven different ways to watch the game, some of the complaining about this is getting a little old. It's also kind of strange that people seem to think that IU controls where ESPN sets up and how they produce the show. ESPN was never going to put the set up outside.

The five hours thing is just a standard time they give out. The policy is at least five hours before kick off. We have had 8 o'clock games before where the lots open at noon.

Yeah from what I can tell it looks pretty cool. It appears that there's going to be a new helmet too but you can't see much.

Haven't seen these before:

You mean show the same things at the same time? Why wouldn't they? They will both show score, stats, and replays. One is just smaller than the other one. The smaller boards at Assembly Hall on the ends show exactly the same thing as the larger ones facing the sides.

Yep. North is 20 X 68, and the south one will be 42 X 91. They will also add a ribbon board in the south end zone like the one in the north end zone.

There's going to be two now starting next year so that won't really fly anymore.

They are really hitting 2019 hard for big men. The 2018 class is a really weak class for post players. Plus the late start.

Nothing is going to happen to Glass. Nothing is going to happen to recruiting. Penn State and Baylor had two absolutely horrific scandals and didn't suffer at all in grabbing good players. And this certainly isn't that. Fans have taken the whole negative recruiting thing and contorted it into this massive issue and it's incredibly annoying. Relax. So can we please not make stupid leaps over this? I feel for Bryant. He will be back. No one is going to be talking about this next week. Saying Purdue is lighting a cigar over this is asinine.

A couple of people have already been fired:

Why will they probably win by 2-3 TDs?

DAKICH LEAVES SPARE JORTS AT URBAN'S Something with the Desmond Howard Heisman pose, since he will be there and it will piss off the Ohio State fans. TBDBITL CAN'T EVEN SPELL "STATE." FINEBAUM IS JUST ANOTHER CRAPPY DANA CARVEY DISGUISE Something with Corso/team (badly) photoshopped in front of the scoreboard. The score should be like 69 to 0 IU. WE WANT BAMA (a staple) TOM ALLEN > BORDER WALL MOTHER, WOULD YOU KINDLY ALLOCATE MORE FUNDS TO MY PERSON FOR THE ACQUISITION OF CAVIAR AND READING MATERIAL? Something Highlanderish with Chuck Crabb fighting Mr. Krabs...There Can Only Be One

Freshmen have been on campus for a few days and they're already calling them Ohio. Beautiful.

Some stadium gates will open at 5:30 for the Ohio State game. Gameday starts at 6.

Level 3, going up!

Yeah I'd much rather listen to the OSU alum in Herbstreit.

He is fantastic at coffin corner kicks though.
