Overview
Ohio Stadium, known as 'The Horseshoe,' is the home of Ohio State Buckeyes football in Columbus, Ohio. One of the largest stadiums in the United States, it regularly packs six-figure crowds along the banks of the Olentangy River for Big Ten Saturdays. Its horseshoe-shaped bowl and rotunda entrance make it one of the most recognizable stadiums in college football.
History & Legacy
Opened in 1922, the horseshoe-shaped stadium was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and has been expanded and renovated multiple times since, including an early-2000s bowl-closure project that boosted capacity past 100,000. It regularly hosts crowds over 100,000, including for 'The Game' against Michigan, one of the fiercest rivalries in American sports, and has served as a venue for Ohio State's multiple national championship seasons.

Great stadium. Is definitely old and could use a makeover in the concourse. Concourses get jammed easily, but other than that, nothing bad to say. Prepare to climb if you have upper deck seats. Very steep climb as well.

If I wasn’t used to it at this point it’d probably be close to a 10. You can feel the history as you enter and coming down the visitors tunnel feels like entering the colosseum.

Maybe bias bc I’m a buckeye but it’s a great stadium 100+ years old so loud and great fans. Great atmosphere. The whole campus and tailgating experience is great. Only flaw is the seats aren’t that close to the field which is because there used to be a track around the field but overall I love it and I go there every year and it doesn’t disappoint
