Walking directions

Google Maps may choose a different gate or omit private indoor connections; follow the listed route notes and venue access rules for onsite hotels.
Walking from your hotel to the gates
Walking on gameday
Ohio Stadium sits between the Olentangy river and the main campus, so approaches from the east are all pedestrian paths. Cars are stopped on Woodruff and Tuttle Park Place before kickoff, which makes the walk easier, not harder.
Note: Gates open two hours before kickoff. The rotunda gates hold the longest lines — Gate 10 and Gate 30 clear faster.
