This guy spent 2 years and almost $75K building what looks like a pretty sweet replica of Ohio State's fmaous stadium where USC went a couple of years ago and won in the final minutes, breaking the hearts of Buckeye fans and earning me a free dinner.

He used over a million bricks. He even made sure the mini-figs of the band were wearing the right colored clothes.
Is DaBrockster going to check this thing out? I would definitely go see it when it goes on display.

Who doesn’t love Legos, right? Ah, the possibilities. Many of us remember putting together something that resembled our childhood home or an X-wing Fighter or a castle. Well, that wasn’t good enough for Paul M.L. Janssen, an associate professor in Ohio State University’s department of physiology and cell biology. No, Janssen, whose day-to-day involves studying the effects of myocardial relaxation, decided to go a step further in his off hours and construct a 1:100 scale model of Ohio Stadium, aka The Horseshoe. The best part was, Janssen had to start completely from square one: To plan the project, Janssen studied stadium measurements and satellite images, often taking photos of the press box or other details during football games. (He didn’t really understand the sport at first but is now a fan and a season-ticket holder.) He spent more than three years acquiring the necessary Legos, often improvising: Dragon horns from a Lego castle kit are part of the rotunda decor; chrome truck parts serve as pipes extending from the stadium bathrooms. Whereas Ohio Stadium cost around $1.5 million to build in 1922 (almost $20 million in today’s dollars) the Lego replica has an estimated Lego value approaching $75,000. — Wired.com
