Starting with the 2016 football season, Ohio State University geologists have been measuring the magnitude of “fan quakes” created when fans jump up and down in Ohio Stadium. The biggest quake measured so far happened during the OSU-Michigan game, during Curtis Samuel’s winning touchdown in double overtime. It generated a cumulative 5.79-magnitude quake on the researchers’ newly created FanQuake Magnitude Scale.
