The Merry go Round and Ferris Wheel at Comerica are to help them be more family friendly. Younger kids get restless and bored at sporting events (the post the other day about taking a 5 year old to the Rutger game is full of parents giving the advice that the kid will get bored). Having attractions like the Tigers do that are completely non obtrusive gives the parents something that will hopefully entertain their kids. Encouraging parents to bring their children to a game helps the Tigers build a new generation of fan. It’s the same reason so many teams have kids fan clubs and things like kids run the bases.
Not that modern arenas don’t over do it, but the merry go round and ferris wheel at Comerica are bad examples of this
Ohio State easily could have easily moved on from Smith. He was on a one year contract. After the incidents in 2015, bring him in, let him know that he is not going to be retained for the upcoming season, and he should begin preparing to find new employment for the upcoming season. They could have also offered to allow him to leave immediately with full pay. He would know why he was not being retained but would he really press the issue with a lawsuit? The allegations against him would come out in any potential lawsuit (hampering his ability to be hired anywhere else), and without Ohio State stating the abuse allegations are why they were not retaining him, what grounds would he have to sue?
