Ohio Stadium, affectionately known as the Horseshoe, anchors The Ohio State University campus at 411 Woody Hayes Dr. in Columbus. Opened in 1922 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the venue pairs timeless architecture with modern upgrades to host more than 100,000 fans. With a current capacity near 102,780, its iconic horseshoe design, historic rotunda, and roaring atmosphere make game days unforgettable for Ohio State Buckeyes faithful.

The Rolling Stones rocked the stadium in 2015, Beyoncé and Jay-Z brought their tour to Columbus in 2018, and international soccer friendlies have drawn massive crowds. Traditions like Script Ohio by The Best Damn Band in the Land set the tone, while the energy from Block O and the south stands carries through every section.
