Saturday, September 6
Football shuttles are suggested for those guests who are not able to make the walk to Ohio Stadium. The shuttles will drop passengers off as close to the stadium as OSU Traffic & Parking is able to get the shuttles. Please keep in mind, the shuttles will not be able to drop passengers off right in front of an Ohio Stadium gate.
The drop-off and pick-up location for the Ohio University game will be the same as in 2007, which is in the Neil Avenue Garage Loop. The Loop is south-east of the RPAC, just west of (behind) the Psychology Building and Lazenby Hall, and south of Cunz Hall.

HYATT to Meiling Hall: 7:30 a.m.*, 8:30 a.m.*, 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m.
MEILING to the stadium: 11:00 a.m., 11:15 a.m., 11:30 a.m.
Post-game
Note: All buses will stay at the stadium to bring riders back after the game and the post-game celebration at the RPAC. Bus riders should expect delays after the game due to game day traffic.
Three shuttle busses will run continuous circuits between the Ohio Stadium drop-off location, Meiling Hall and the Hyatt on Capitol Square, until approximately two and a half (2.5) hours after the game has ended. (Time extended due to the University wide event at the RPAC as soon as the game ends. See the Saturday schedule for all information.)
