Five-star 2027 quarterback Brady Edmunds commits to Ohio State.
Urban Meyer got his wish.
Ohio State's head football coach wanted 100,000 people at the spring game, and as of roughly three hours before kickoff, the school has no more tickets to sell for its annual intrasquad scrimmage.
"Ohio Stadium will be at capacity for today's LiFE Sports Spring Game, presented by Nationwide, and there are no more tickets available for purchase," a spokesman said in a press release. "Only those who have already purchased tickets and Ohio State students with a BuckID will be admitted into the stadium at any open gate."
Congrats and thanks!!!!!! #100,000

More than 92,000 tickets had been sold at last count, a spokesman said, and that does not include students who get in free with their BuckID.
With sunny skies and temperatures expected to be in the 70s, it appears the final number will reach six figures, which would be the first spring game ever to do so.
Last year, Ohio State set a national record for spring game attendance with 99,391.
The capacity of Ohio Stadium is 104,944.
