The Ohio State University won the championship

The American College Football Playoffs set a new record this year, with Ohio State University facing off against the University of Notre Dame, both teams having not won the national championship for a long time, and ticket prices for this final skyrocketed, with an average of US$4,953 (36,000 yuan), the worst and cheapest tickets at US$3,934 (29,000 yuan), and the few seats with the best view reaching US$11,943 (87,000 yuan).

Last year's Professional Baseball World Series, Dodgers competed with the Yankees again after 43 years, Shohei Ohtani and Judge (Aaron Judge) were star-studded, and the average second-hand ticket price rushed to 1,300 US dollars (9,000 yuan). For example, the average ticket price of Alabama vs. Georgia in 2022 is 738 US dollars (5,000 yuan), although it is still super expensive, but it is not comparable to this year. Ticket prices may also be as low as $20 for general college events.

Ohio-born NBA basketball superstar LeBron James was hailed by the crowd as he skipped a grade to the NBA before college. MLB Major League Baseball Phillies star Bryce Harper, whose wife Kayla graduated from Ohio State, also attended.

The final took place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, which had a capacity of more than 70,000 people and a crowd of 77,660 spectators, far more than professional games such as baseball and basketball. The University of Notre Dame opened the game with a touchdown, but Ohio State fought back strongly in the second quarter, hitting three touchdowns to go on a 21-0 offensive run and win the final championship 34-23.
