Gymnastics
These girls are absolutely amazing! I bought these tickets for my granddaughter for part of her Christmas present and she had a blast. She got to meet the girls, get autographs and it encouraged her to keep working at her gymnastics.
OSU gymnastics is a great experience, action packed from start to finish. Unfortunately the evening was dampened when leaving the parking lot was a nightmare. And event was starting as ours was ending and they did an awful job of helping traffic flow.
The OSU gymnasts are absolutely super fun to watch and so sweet. On top of a great performance and win over PSU, the meet and greet was awesome. Girls are so friendly!
All of the seats have a good view. There were 2 issues: 1) seats directly next to the family of performers should be discounted. Most of them stood the entire time and blocked a portion of the floor from our view. 2) t-shirts were thrown into the stands like a lot of events do. However, on the side with families of the performers 100% of the shirts were thrown directly to the families of the performers. A lot of kids in other seats were disappointed about the shirts and poor view because of the 1 group.
Took my daughter and granddaughter (4 yrs old) to their first OSU women's gymnastics meet. It was a great experience. Aside from the competition (Go Bucks) the environment, Team Shop, consessions, face painting, and balloon animals were all a hit. Going back Sunday to watch the Buckeyes beat ttun!
Great event with highly talented athletes. The event space was clean and well-organized. Parking was free and close to the event center.
I brought my daughter and her friend to the meet. It was our first time at a meet - the energy of the crowd and teams awesome. We had a great time, saw amazing athletes and enjoyed it so much. I would recommend and would go again!!!
This is such a great value for entertainment and facility. Everything is so nice, and there isn't a bad seat in the house. The athletes were amazing, and we really enjoyed ourselves. When we left, though, parking was a complete disaster. Many driveways were coned off, and no one was in charge of holding traffic to let people turn onto Fred Taylor drive. This resulted in all of us sitting at a stand-still until many of us figure out a back way to get out. I would suggest instead of having parking attendants facilitate parking, they should facilitate exiting (to prevent the bottleneck).
The event itself was a lot of fun, great energy and fast paced. The 3 stars relate more to the actual logistics of the event. I purchased tickets in the front row expecting that would be a great view, however, the athletes chairs were set up directly in front of my seats blocking any and all views so I ended up standint at the top of the arena for 90% of the 2 hour meet to be able to see anything. Also, the flow to enter the venue needs improvement. There were 4 stations to scan mobile tickets and that isn't adequate for the number of people who were trying to enter.
OSU gymnastics meets are always fun to attend. They could do a better job of posting the individual scores though.
