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.
