Ohio State Buckeyes Making Major Change to 'The Shoe'

In an official press release from the University, Ohio State's Athletic Director Ross Bjork stated that the new seating will bring greater comfort and a wider range of options to fans.

“We’re proud to introduce a premium seating area on the field level in the south end zone of Ohio Stadium – an investment that reflects our deep commitment to enhancing the fan experience,” said Bjork in the press release. “This addition is designed for passionate members of Buckeye Nation, bringing greater comfort, improved access to the field level, and a wider range of seating options to better serve even more fans.

Other exciting features that will be included in this premium seating are an all-inclusive in-seat service, dedicated restrooms, access to purchase game day parking, and exclusive access to seats through Ohio State player tunnel.

With the new addition being implemented in Ohio Stadium next year, The Ohio State University Marching Band will now be situated in north end of the stadium, which was the band's original location before the renovations done back in 2001.

The renovations that were made in 2001 brought many of changes, which included the removal of the track surrounding the field, additional seating, and the stadium being enclosed at the south end.
