College Sporting Events

We do love our Ohio State Buckeyes! In my pre-child days, I had been fortunate enough to attend several football games, and the experience is something I will never forget. Unfortunately ticket prices are now a bit out of our price range with face value being something like $63 (and higher if you have to buy from a scalper), and while I'd love to take the kids to a game, I don't see it happening anytime soon. But that doesn't mean that we can't go see our beloved Buckeyes out on the field! Every year, the final spring scrimmage game is open to the public. You aren't seeing them play a Big-10 opponent, but you do get to see the players in action in Ohio Stadium. Cost - $5, which includes admission to the lacrosse game earlier in the morning.

Most college football programs have a similar scrimmage each spring . If you can't afford regular tickets to a regular season game or have concerns if your young children could sit through 2-3 hours of football, this would be a great opportunity to see your team in action. Check the website for your favorite team for details.

This year the Ohio State spring game is next Saturday, April 25 at 1 PM. If you want to see the lacrosse game, that starts at 11 AM. Again ticket price is $5 and includes both games. Hopefully we'll be there! And don't forget to check over at lifeasmom.com for more Frugal Friday posts!

That's a great idea! My mom lives in Columbus. My father was an alumnus, and so is my sister. Go Bucks!
