Editorial Review for Ohio Stadium – by Citysearch Staff
The Venue
Nicknamed "the Horseshoe" for its unique double-deck, U-shaped design, Ohio Stadium was built in 1922 and is listed in the National Registry of Historic Buildings. Since then, renovation projects have widened the concourses, added revenue-generating box seats and concessions, improved restroom facilities and installed modern scoreboards and a grass playing field. With more than 100,000 seats, this grand old structure is both intimate and intimidating.
The Experience
The stadium is home to the Ohio State University Buckeyes, a football team with a loyal following and years of tradition. On game days, expect a near-capacity crowd shouting the Buckeye Battle Cry and look for the Ohio State Marching Band dotting the "I" in the famous script Ohio formation. The venue hosts concerts as well; the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, U2, Elton John and George Strait are some of the big names who've graced the turf.

I was concerned for my safety outside and the whole place smells like urine. This place cant hold a candle to the likes of Michigan Stadium or Notre Dame Stadium.

For the poor saps who feel they need to be critical of OSU Football Fans...I can only say, you must either be a Michigan Fan or a fan of some other team who lost to Ohio State. Ohio Stadium is a GREAT place and no other stadium in College Football come close on game day. Even if you are not a Buckeye fan, you will be electrified attending a game there.
