You can buy tickets pre-game at the OSU box office or from the team web site (Hangonsloopy.com) for usually $5. But there's always plenty of room and you can get tickets day of the game also (I think for the same price) at the Basketball Arena box office (Schuster Center sp?).

Funny how this all got started by a quote from a post from last years Spring Game Tailgate thread.

What SoB did that?
I just think if the weather is good people will show at a tailgate. It might be good to have it a little closer to the stadium this year too.

Yeah I think, if it is close to the stadium more people will stop by.
Also it would be nice to have weather that we were having at the end of the football season this year.

If the weather is good consider the following...
You may have many more folk here than last year - purely the weather factored in.
You may have close to the post NC game, because of the anticipation of tOSU being so highly ranked pre-season. You may in fact run out of shirts - that'll please a lot of hard working shirt makers.
Bottom line, I think it would be a good idea to have a some kind of simple sign-up sheet there, so passers-by can put their name down for BP shirt version 1.0, or for a 2.0 version. No money to change hands on-site of course.

I could be wrong but I don't think there is any pass parking for the spring game. I know we have parked at the French Field House lot right across the street before and didn't need a pass. Not sure about right outside the stadium.

Tickets for the annual Scarlet & Gray spring football game currently are on sale at the Athletics Ticket Office in the Jerome Schottenstein Center.
The game is scheduled for 1 p.m. April 22 in Ohio Stadium. Tickets are $5.00 each and can be purchased in person in the southeast rotunda of the Schottenstein Center, by calling either 1-800 GO BUCKS or (614) 292-2624, or by going on-line at www.hangonsloopy.com.
Coach Jim Tressel's Buckeyes return 11 starters from last year's 10-2 team. The Buckeyes closed out the 2005 season with seven consecutive victories, were Big Ten co-champions, defeated Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl and wound up fourth in the final national rankings.
Ohio State opens the 2006 campaign Sept. 2 against visiting Northern Illinois, one of seven home games on a schedule that features a rematch with Texas in Austin and the regular season finale against visiting Michigan.
The cast of OSU holdovers includes quarterback Troy Smith, receivers Ted Ginn Jr. and Anthony Gonzalez and tailback Antonio Pittman.
Smith averaged 263 yards per game in total offense last year and accounted for 27 touchdowns. He totaled 337 yards in the win over Michigan and then trumped that effort with 408 yards against Notre Dame to record the second best performance in Ohio State history.
Ginn finished the season as the Buckeyes' second leading receiver, hauling in 51 catches for 803 yards and four touchdowns. The versatile sophomore had a career-high nine receptions against Michigan and amassed 260-all-purpose yards in the Fiesta Bowl, where he scored on a 68-yard reverse and a 56-yard reception as the Buckeyes gained 617 yards in total offense. <!-- STORY AD BEGINS HERE -->
<table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td>

</td> </tr> </tbody></table>
<!-- STORY AD ENDS HERE -->Gonzalez is coming off his best year, snagging 28 passes for 373 yards and three touchdowns. His acrobatic grab on the Michigan 4-yard line with under a minute to play set up the winning touchdown for the Buckeyes, and his third-down catch-and-run in the fourth quarter against Notre Dame was good for a first down that set up the Buckeyes' final score.
Pittman finished his first season as a starter with 1,331 yards and seven touchdowns and averaged 5.5 yards per carry on 243 attempts. The hard-running sophomore scored the winning touchdown against Michigan on a three-yard run and locked up the Fiesta Bowl with a 60-yard run with 1:46 remaining. He topped the 100-yard mark in six of the Buckeyes' last seven games and scored all seven of his TDs in the last five.

$6 to watch a scrimmage? Well, it is Ohio State
By Kyle Nagel | Thursday, March 2, 2006, 04:21 PM
I was cruising around the Ohio State athletics Web site this afternoon, when I spotted an interesting note under the “Tickets” tab.
That’s right, tickets are available for the Ohio State football spring game, set for April 22.
So, for kicks, I clicked on “Purchase tickets online.”
The tickets are $5 each plus a $1 fee, whatever that is.
Last year, OSU sold 33,418 tickets for the spring game, which is a glorified scrimmage that ends the spring practice period. The teams get all dressed up in their uniforms as the school tries to convince more people that they want season tickets.
But that was nothing. In 2003, 57,200 fans came out for the spring game, and 45,074 showed up in 2004.
Even if the same number of people as last year sign up, OSU will pull in $167,090 from ticket sales.
For a scrimmage.
I’ve covered enough spring games to know that they look nothing like an actual football game. Usually the first-string offense goes against the first-strong defense for awhile, but not very long. And the kicking game is booooring.
But, if I were Ohio State, I would charge also. There clearly are people willing to pay.

You do not RC. If you wish to question a fact in a newspaper article, please do some research first.
