So I landed in LA yesterday, and there are a LOT of buckeye fans here, as expected. For most bowl games, OSU is always the dominating fanbase, unless in we play a powerhouse in a local environment (UGA in ATL, possible Texas in Dallas). 

What do we expect the percentage of Buckeye fans to be in the stadium come Wednesday? Game magnitude is different this time around, so I expect a stronger showing than we had against Utah and against Washington in their respective Rose Bowls.

Looking at Ticketmaster right now, there is a get in price for $107. not bad at all. should be considerably more feasible to get in if they really want to.

apparently, the largest OSU alumni bases out of Ohio are:

1. NYC

2. Chicago

3. DC

4. San Francisco

5. Los Angeles

6. Atlanta

7. Boston

8. Philly

(i will say, i think this list is bullshit. id expect Dallas to have more than most. also where is south fl)

so there is a pretty solid built in support base in the LA area.
