COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- The Ohio State football team is in Atlanta gearing up for the national championship and you can always count on Buckeye fans to follow. “Live games are just so different from your TV. You know, you’re there. You’re touching it. Literally the air is different,” said Tricia Coleman. According to John Glenn International Airport, Sunday was the busiest day for travel to Atlanta as fans travel for Monday's game. What to know about Ohio State in the national championship game Airport officials said on average, eight flights depart to Atlanta each day but to prepare for the game, they had 21 flights. That’s nearly 4,000 seats and many of them were filled with scarlet and grey. “We got our tickets, I think a week before so we got our tickets before we even knew they were going to be in the national championship game. We just go ours based on faith,” said William Bradley. Some fans are looking forward to their very first time watching the Buckeyes play for a championship in person. “We wanted to be there to experience it this time around. We don’t know when they’re going to go back, if we’ll be around or whatever so why not? Why not take a chance?” said Kimeil Marsh. Meanwhile, other fans have been reflecting on those feelings back in 2015, hoping to do it again.
