Campus always seems to be buzzing with events as the year comes to a close and the weather warms up. This week was the perfect example with OUAB events every night of the week and lots going on this weekend.
OUAB kicked off the week on Monday with the return on OUABe Glad Day. Students could take a break from class and stop by the Union to enjoy an aqua massage, eat free snacks, and participate in some stress-relieving activities.
Tuesday night saw the final karaoke night of the year at Woody’s with a 2000s theme. On Wednesday evening, students laid out blankets on the lawn of the Oval and enjoyed some popcorn while Anchorman 2 was played on a projection screen.
All of these events led up to the most exciting one on Thursday with the anticipated revival of the Big Free Concert (BFC). The Chainsmokers, Caked Up and Juicy J all performed before Childish Gambino came on. Students crowded the South Oval until about 11 p.m. when the concert began to wind down.
On Saturday afternoon football fans returned to Ohio Stadium to watch the Ohio State Spring Game. The game was free to students and $5 to the public. The original price for non-students was $20, however, after wanting the biggest turnout possible, Urban Meyer decided to lower that price. And with an attendance of 61,058 fans, that proved to be a great decision.
The exciting week of events will conclude Sunday night with Miley Cyrus’s Bangerz tour stop in Columbus and Monday with comedian Joel McHale doing some stand-up at the Mershon Auditorium.
