Kudos to another Buckeye fan who’s taken a run at constructing a LEGO Ohio Stadium: Paul Janssen of Dublin used about a million Lego pieces to build the recently finished 8-foot-by-6-foot model, which has room for 6,000 Lego people. Janssen says the project “took about 1,000 hours over two years.” A couple of nice photos of his masterpiece: This version of the ‘Shoe puts the 2006 version constructed by another rabid Bucknut, (discussed here on MVictors) to SHAME. It took twice as long for the ‘06 project and it stands just about a foot tall: It’s unconfirmed whether Janssen’s next “project” is to kiss a girl. (Of course, this jab is coming from a man who has a piece of the Big Chill ice in his freezer). Anyway, a hearty salute from up North to Janssen and his efforts here but he’s clearly missing a few details, especially the goings-on just outside the stadium: And while he included bathrooms, he missed this critical slice of reality:

Stadium Bridge is (still) Falling Down
Anyway, earlier this week the challenger Lesko rattled off a few complaints by those around town including the state of the Stadium Boulevard bridges. Many fans of course use the structures to get to the stadium on football, basketball and even hockey (parking at Crisler is a good way to go) gamedays. Since March 2009 the city reduced the available driving lanes down to two (from four) for safety reasons. They still aren’t fixed and the city has been turned down for federal funding to this point.
