Rebecca and I were offered tickets to the Ohio State Men’s Basketball game last night against Coppin State. I had never been to a single event at the Schottenstein Center, nor a basketball game period, so the whole experience was new.
It is quite different than going to a football game to be sure. There is no tailgating only traffic — everyone at the game either has tickets, is scalping tickets or is planning to buy scalped tickets(far less likely this season). Also, free parking is easy to come by.
The tickets we were given were practically on the floor — we sat right behind the opponent bench. There is no way we would have scored these seats last year. Indeed the game play was sloppy, but the half time show was pretty impressive. It was an act called ‘Quick Change’. I found out later that they were on ‘America’s Got Talent’ — see the video below.
The act they performed was very similar to the video but the lights were brighter. I’ve no idea how it was done, but well performed illusion is something that I always enjoy.
