COLUMBUS - While 105,000 Buckeye fans attended each home game this year, Ohio State University has been allotted only 16,000 tickets for the BCS Championship Game, to be played on Monday, Jan. 8 in Glendale, Ariz.
"Deciding how to distribute those tickets across our many different constituencies is a balancing act," said Athletics Director Gene Smith, whose department manages ticket distribution. "The Department of Athletic tries to be as fair as possible in meeting the huge demand from, among others, students, faculty, staff, trustees, alumni, donors, media, boosters and season ticket holders. All of them are important to our athletic programs and our university."
