highly ranked women's basketball team
played Michigan on New Year's Eve in the Covelli Center. Tickets sold out and were only available at exorbitant prices online, and many fans got shut out. Then they played No. 10 Iowa in the “sold-out” Schott and tickets were again only available at prices near $100. Yet, the upper tier was not opened for that big matchup.gets stuck in the OSU Ice Rink with a capacity around 500. For more games than not, the crowd is cut off and fans are left out in the cold.
Then they advertised an open skate for kids after Saturday’s game. My wife and I arrived at 2:35 for the 3 p.m. game and weren’t allowed in. As we walked away, families with kids excitedly anticipating the game and the skating session with players were still approaching the arena. One person online said they drove from Dayton for the game and couldn’t get in at 2:30. They said they saw dozens of kids crying because they couldn’t attend.
Don’t the best teams in Columbus deserve to be seen by their fans? Keep the women's basketball team at the bigger arena and use the whole place. Look at scheduling women’s hockey at the Schott. But, at the very least, get creative when women’s hockey is going to have overflow crowds. Maybe open up St. John and install closed-circuit TV so people who have traveled a distance can still see the game. In such a scenario, kids watching at St. John could also take part in the skating afterward.
