If anyone else's loyalty get's tested by something more than a 4 loss season or free cars & tattoo's, let me know.
Memorial Stadium seats approximately 5% of the population of Nebraska.
Ohio Stadium seats approximately 1% of the population of Ohio.
Percentage wise, Ohio Stadium is a bit behind.
Take out the students. If my school has an enrollment of 50k, and my stadium seats 60k, selling out isn't that big a deal. I remember last year Bill O'brien at Penn State saying that they had 35k students at a game. Getting 65,000 fans to a game in the middle of Pennsylvania is impressive, but 35,000 students makes it a lot easier to get to an impressive attendence figure of 100,000.
You can usually catch a scalper outside the stadium just before game time for a decent price. I've gone numerous times without a ticket and hand and have almost always gotten a ticket for a "fair" price (fair being subjective depending on how you feel about scalpers, lol).I have been to most of the BigTen stadiums for Buckeye road games. Someday I would like to catch a game at Memorial Stadium although tickets are probably hard to get.
Screw that just let the idiots think I'm serious that's funnier anyway.

WOW!! Most schools would kill if they could get 35K students to a game. Nebraska isn't doing that and Iowa isn't doing it. I know those two are facts, I have no idea on the other schools.
Both Nebraska and Iowa are around 20,000 students, Iowa actually having more. So, it is physically impossible for those schools to do it, but they would be excited to get 50% student attendance, and they are not doing that.
The Nebraska website says that women's volleyball and men's football tickets are still available. The Iowa posters or someone posted that Iowa has not sold them all either.
