Parking Advice for NW game

First post here, but I'm a long time lurker. I have tickets to the NW game on Saturday and plan on getting into the area at 10. My question is about parking.

Where is the best/easiest/most convenient place to park? And what is the best route to take when coming in from the west on I-70? Thanks for any information.


Go Buckeyes! :osu:

Best advice I can give is this; get their earlier than 10.
If you show at ten, you will be stuck in long traffic lines, and you will be walking far.

I usually park by the fawcett center which is on olentangy river road right across from the WHAC, lots of spaces and not to hard to get out of.

Head north on 315 from I-70. Get off at Ackerman Road. Turn right. Take next right on Fred Taylor Drive. $10.00 parking on the right in the "Buckeye Lot".

10am traffic will be murder. If you can get there earlier, do so.

Ohio State has a parking map for football:

You can also park in the grass lot just North of the Woody Hayes Center but it will cost you $10.

I do agree with the above poster that you'll want to get there earlier than 10AM.

5AM should do.

Personally I find west Campus to be the best place to park...you can usually get out of there pretty quickly after games and there are tons of spots. The only bad thing is the distance, but they run a shuttle that is pretty quick.

You can also avoid 315 traffic, which is nice

If you get there early enough, you can park BEHIND the Holiday Inn parking lot on Lane for $20. Really convenient as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll definitely try and get there as early as possible. More time to soak in the atmosphere and surroundings.

I've only gotten to go once but I really loved the shuttle. Easy to get in, and the shuttle drops you off in the shadow of the 'Shoe. I intend to park in West Campus again this Saturday if I can.

I also like parking off Auckerman. I like to take the time to walk through the tailgaters in the rv lot and walk across the bridge and around Lane before the game. Its nice just to absorb to atmosphere.......

He's watched a lot of submarice races with your wife.

That's what we called 'parking' in the old days.

$20 is convenient? What are you, the guy who takes the money there?
