The Scarlet Show in The Shoe
10/28/2021 7:55:57 AM | Football
The Ohio State University football team will debut an all-scarlet uniform Saturday, when it hosts Penn State University in a key Big Ten Conference East Division encounter at Ohio Stadium. Kick off is at 7:30 p.m. and the game will be televised by ABC.
All-scarlet means a color rush of all-scarlet. Jersey, pants, socks, base layers, gloves and spikes will be scarlet with the traditional striping pattern on the shoulders and down the side of the legs. The traditional metallic extreme silver helmet will also be worn.
Scarlet the Stadium
The football program wants the color rush of all-scarlet to extend to the fans and the entire stadium as well. Fans are going to be encouraged to “scarlet the stadium” by layering up and wearing scarlet jerseys, sweatshirts, hoodies, sweaters, overcoats, and/or blankets. Rally towels will be handed out to fans as they enter the stadium. Please pick up your rally towel at your designated gate upon entry.

The Salute will take place during the Buckeyes’ home football game against Penn State. Coverage of the game will start at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC. More
A few reminders…
Load tickets to your mobile wallets – One of the most important and proactive steps fans can do to assist the entry process at the gates is to load their mobile ticket to their iPhone or Google Pay wallet before arriving at the stadium. (Click the “add to Apple Wallet/add to Google Pay” button in the official Ohio State Buckeyes app or phone web browser once tickets have been accessed).
Helpful Measures
- Load your ticket to your phone’s wallet before you arrive at the stadium, please!
- Have your ticket or your barcode “up” and visible on your phone before going through the metal detectors.
- Ticket office trouble shooting booths are located at Gates 5, 11, 14, the North Rotunda and behind the South Stands for those who are having difficulties.
- No mobile phone? The ticket office can print tickets at the Schottenstein Center ticket office (1-800-GOBUCKS) starting the Thursday before home games. On game day, visit one of the ticket trouble shooting booths.
- The official Ohio State Buckeyes app is an easy way to manage tickets and parking. Download the app from the App Store and Google Play.
- Because of construction on campus, please allow for plenty of time to get to campus and get parked.
- The gates open two hours before kickoff. We encourage all fans to arrive early.
Donate Your Tickets
Fans with tickets who are unable to attend the game are encouraged to donate their tickets through their ticket account using the “Donate” button. Tickets will go to a veteran through VetTix!?
