How is University Parking Affected on Game Days?
Virtually every parking lot is used for football parking
on game days. Please see the map
for parking lots and garages reserved for season permit parking,
OSU parking permits only, and day-of-game parking ($10.00 per vehicle.)
Any current annual OSU parking permit will be honored in day-of-game
lots (except the Camper/RV parking lots) at NO CHARGE. Please
note: Valuecards, temporary single or multi-day permits are not
valid for football parking.
Parking lots tend to fill early on game days. If you are going to
the game, you should plan on arriving at least 1-2 hours prior to
kickoff.
For those fans parking on West Campus, a free shuttle will provide
continuous service beginning six hours before kickoff continuing
through one hour after the game. Shuttles pick up and drop off fans
at Mount Hall on West Campus and the Sisson Hall footbridge located
just west of Drake Union and Ohio Stadium.
Where Can I Park if I Need to Come to Work on OSU Game
Days?
You can park free of charge in any day-of-game lot by displaying
a valid OSU parking permit. It is advisable to arrive on campus
for work at least one hour prior to your scheduled start time to
ensure you have time to park and walk to your building. If at all
possible, please avoid driving through campus on game days.
If you work in the Medical Center
area:
Approach campus from the south, utilizing
12th Ave., 3rd Ave., Neil Ave., King Ave.
If you work on Central Campus:
Approach campus from the east, utilizing
High Street, Woodruff Ave., or 12th Ave.
How is Traffic Affected on Game Days?
At least two hours prior to game time, some streets on and around
campus become one-way toward the Stadium. Upon completion of the
game, traffic patterns will be reversed, going away from the Stadium.
Due to various construction projects on campus, it may be necessary
to change these traffic patterns from game to game. Traffic control
officers will be available to direct you around any construction
detours.
Where is Disability Parking Located?
Disability parking is located in two locations this year. There
are over 800 spaces located in the North St. John Arena Lots, located
off of Lane Avenue, just east of the Olentangy River. To access
these spaces, enter campus from High Street and proceed west on
Woodruff Avenue. There are another 800+ spaces located in the Neil
Avenue garage, just south of the Stadium and RPAC facility. To access
these spaces, enter campus from the south along Neil Avenue.
For access to both locations, prominently display a valid disability
permit and follow the officer's directions. All spaces are available
on a first-come, first-served basis and require that the registered
owner of the state placard (along with the current registration
for the state disability placard) or OSU disability permit be present
in the car. A $10.00 parking fee or valid OSU parking permit is
required to park. Shuttles will provide continuous adapted transportation
service to the east side of the Stadium beginning six hours before
kickoff continuing through one hour following the game from both
locations.
What Parking and Traffic Will Be Affected This Season
Due to Construction?
Construction of a new Lane Avenue Parking garage (1400 spaces) and
a Student Academic Services building has displaced the 400 surface
parking spaces located south of Lane avenue and north of the Fisher
College of Business.
RV Parking
All RV parking on The Ohio State University campus will be pre-sold
passes only for the 2008 season. There is no day-of-game parking
available. Spaces are all pre assigned, and the designated spaces
are held for the permit holder until 90 minutes prior to kick off.
RV parking lots open at 5:00am on the day of each home football
game. RV/campers with permits who arrive before the lots open or
RV/campers without a campus parking permit may park at the Ohio
State Fairgrounds on a first-come, first-served basis. COTA shuttles
are available to provide transportation to the campus before, during
and after the football game.
