Semper Fi!
Got the boss' tix for the game this Saturday and taking a client.

1. What time does skull session begin and how long does it last?
2. Parking - where are the best spots to park?
2A. I'll be coming in from Pittsburgh - any detours/short cuts I can take to avoid the traffice on the interstate(if there is any), last time I was there, roads were messed up due to construction...
3. Places to eat after the game (mind you, I'll have a client with me and my wife) so the local strip joint is a no go. Not looking for a 5 Star restaurant, but somewhere we can walk to and grab some good food and drinks.
4. Anything else I need to know?

Thanks all!

1. Skull session starts 2 hours before kick-off.
2. Refer to Scooter1369 for this.
2a. 70W to 315N and then take Scooter's route.
3. What type of food? Italian, American, Mexican? Gobs of restaurants depends on what type you want.
4. Just be ready to have a great time!

GO BUCKS! have safe travels

2. I am a big fan of the parking garages off of King and Cannon. I park for free there (yeah, rugby) but I think they are only about $10 and a short walk to the south part of the stadium. Edit: Scrap that...if you are going to the Skull session you might as well park over in the lots off of Woody Haves Drive Kenny Road so you can just walk down WHD to the Skull Session.

3. I prefer heading to the Arena District after games but Wendell's isn't a bad spot...it is right now the street from the Varsity Club so I don't know what it is like after a game, but it is on Lane Avenue. I have only been there on weeknights when it isn't crowded but has decent food and drinks.

On Olentangy the Columbus Fish Market and Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe would both be good places to go. Especially Hall of Fame Cafe since it'll be after a Buckeye game, they have lots of cool stuff in there. And the Fish Market has some of the best seafood in town (I think). Both places are something like 12-22 dollars for a meal.

Both places are close to the stadium. These are directions to the fish market, but the Hall of Fame Cafe is before the market on the right, can't miss it.

But annyways, that's what I would recomend.

Any restaurant within walking distance of the stadium after the game will be packed. Of the closer ones, I'd say Champp's at Lennox has good food. Wendell's I wasn't overly impressed with, and that'll be even more packed being on Lane Ave.

The parking garage at High St. and 17th across from McD's is 10 bucks to park and usually available. Not a bad walk to Skull Session, Lane Ave., or the Stadum, but the opposite way from some of the restaurants west of campus.

There is lots of places to park, kinda depends what time you get into town. If ya dont mind the walk cut through campus down to the Gateway Center and try Eddie George's 27 Grill. Its a pretty good place to get some food, drinks, and watch the 3:30 games. There is a garage down there that will shuttle you to the stadium before then game if you just wanna eat in that area and walk back to your car after the game.

Go Bucks!!

Fish Market is fabulous food, very highly recommended if you want good food and want to impress a client w/a restaurant that began in Columbus and has expanded. Champp's is cool too, but is more of an upscale sports bar. Both are just off campus and are highly recommended, depending what you're looking for.
