Not sure how this might

Not sure how this might impact attendance, but that is the date of the Big Ten Championship game, which Ohio State might play in. Not sure how many Drupal developers are football fans... but almost everyone in Ohio is a passionate Buckeye fan, from what I've seen.

More then just fans vs non-fans. OSU can get more then a little nuts during a game its an area best avoided if at all possible

Yea, that was my bad I forgot

Yea, that was my bad I forgot about that change this year. I guess we'll have to pull for Wisconsin and Northwestern :)

But just to be clear the game is in Indianapolis, so the the only risk is only the game watchers staying home. Location wise we're on the west side of Campus (west of Riverside Dr) at this point so I'm guessing we're not gonna get tied up in the High St stuff.

You can solve that by having a couple of TVs with the game around.

If only there were a way to get people to bring a device capable of streaming tv, hmmm.....

Count Cleveland in!

Football fans no worries

Hi all, Usually the BigTen championship game would be at 8:00pm, else at 3:00pm or 6:00 pm slots. So, the camp attendance should technically not be affected.

Also, the game is not at OSU, it is in Indianapolis. This date was selected keeping the home games in mind. Thanks!

8pm slot

I don't think this will hurt attendance at the camp. Some attendees will just make sure they're around a TV at 8pm.

Location

Just and FYI for everyone we have locked down a location for the camp.

Thanks to our friends at Ohio State hosting us we will be at the very nice 4H building on the West side of Campus (one block east of the Ackerman Exit off of 315).

More details to come...
