When I moved to Columbus with my wife, two kids and dog, we, like any transplants, needed to find something to do with our time. As a person who loves watching athletic competition and stuff to do with young kids, the Ohio State University was the first place we looked for affordable options — aka we didn’t look for football tickets.
Moving in the fall, we went to soccer games because of the free tickets and free parking price tag. We saw last second game-winning goals, extra time thrillers and got our fair share of free popcorn.
