Some lots or garages may be closed to Spring Game attendees and reserved for normal University operations (such as Medical Center garages, West Campus surface lots, etc.).
Be sure to check out the 2023 Spring Game Parking Map and familiarize yourself with available lots and garages.

Are you a Season Parking Permit Holder? All season parking permits will be issued digitally, alongside your game tickets to your Ohio State Buckeyes account! Traffic patterns have changed slightly and it will be important that you follow the exact turn by turn directions to access your Season Permit Parking Lot.
Your parking permit may show a “Row / Seat” number on them, but don’t worry, this is just for inventory purposes. With the exception of RV parking, spaces are filled on a first come, first serve.
When you approach the traffic control officers close to campus, you will need to have a passenger display your parking permit so the officers can view it and direct you through the intersections. The background color of your permit will tell the traffic control officers whether you get to go straight, turn left, or turn right – this will guide you to the right part of campus!
To access the WEST STADIUM LOTS: Take Lane Avenue to Fyffe Road near The Schott. Turn left on Woody Hayes Drive, turn right onto Cannon Drive, follow traffic & parking attendants towards available lot. You WILL NOT be able to access the West Stadium lot from the South (Cannon Drive is closed near The Towers for road construction).
