Buckeyes are best
I don't know what year you were, but 1999-2001 spring commencements were all on the Oval (along with long-ago classes in 1909 and 1918), and several other locations were used in the olden days as well.

Mine was on the Oval in 2001, and for a long time it seemed I had the ideal, non-partisan, non-offensive, loved-by-everyone commencement speaker possible: Bill Cosby. Now it makes me sad.

BRAXTON MILLER AND JOEY BOSA JOIN BUCKEYE LEGENDS IN OHIO STADIUM CONCOURSE
Ohio State pays homage to its football legends by giving them a prominent place in the Horseshoe. Banners recognizing Buckeye greats such as Orlando Pace, Eddie George and Vic Janowicz hang in the concourse of the concrete cathedral for fans to gaze upon during fall Saturdays.
This year, two new faces join the ranks of those greats.

That's good stuff right there. Now when the skunk weasels come to town will they install the sand bags and .50 cal?

For you nostalgia fans, here's is a link on the history of the first 11 night games (through 2012) in the 'Shoe:
All Of The Lights: A History Of Night Games At The ‘Shoe
When the Ohio State Buckeyes host the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday, October 6, 2012 it will not only be Nebraska’s first trip to Ohio Stadium in 56 years, but it will also be just the 12th night game played at the venue.
The stadium has no permanent lighting fixtures, meaning temporary ones have to be installed for each night matchup. However, the Buckeyes will host be hosting a game after dark for the fifth straight year, and three of their previous night games have produced record attendance at the ‘Shoe.
Here is a quick look back at the first 11 prime time match-ups in the stadium’s long history:
1985: No. 9 Ohio State 10 – Pittsburgh 7
With All-American and Heisman favorite Keith Byars out due to a preseason injury, it was up to Earl Bruce’s Buckeye defense and quarterback Jim Karsatos to lead OSU to victory in the opening game of the season.
Safety William White was the standout performer of the evening, recovering one fumble and also intercepting a Pittsburgh pass attempt. Ohio State would go on to a 9-3 record and a win in the Citrus Bowl against BYU. A young coach by the name of Jim Tressel was on OSU’s offensive staff that year, and it’d be his last season coaching in the capital until his return as the head coach in 2001.
