Columbus Sports Travel

If you like college football, a must see on your short list has to be Ohio State football on a fall Saturday afternoon in Columbus, Ohio. A newly renovated stadium that holds 106,000 fans( mostly dressed in Scarlet and Gray) is the ticket for a day you will talk about for years to come. One can be more interested in people watching, and talk about it for years to come!

Boasting arguably the World's largest tailgate party, one can choose from a variety of venues, from numerous Buffets, the elegant, to walking around sampling of a wide array of street vendors.

The season starts in late August, consisting of 6 or 7 home games, all building to the final game of the year with the University of Michigan(Maize and Blue). It is held every other year in Columbus. In 2004 the Buckeyes will entertain the U of M in Columbus. Many years the Big Ten Championship is decided on a cold, chilly 3rd week of November. The games in August, and September are generally in the 70's.

TBDBITL (The Best Damn Band in the Land), an all Brass Band, with silver horns is a must see. They warm up in St. John Arena(numerous trophies) just north of the 'Horseshoe'. They usually perfrom 'Script Ohio' either before, halftime, or after the game.
Many websites are devoted to OSU Football, and the world renowned University. The Basketball and Hockey Buckeyes play in The Scottenstein Center, just across the Olentangy River at Champions Lane. And with the new Jack Nicklaus Museum, The new Jesse Owens Track and Field Center, the new Bill Evans Baseball stadium, and the must see Woody Hayes Athletic Center (indoor football facility with numerous trophies).
All are less than a 15 minute walk to see some of the richest tradition in College Atlhetics.

Tickets may be purchased from a number of online ticket agencies in Columbus, Ohio. You may buy tickets just before the game from a scalper, but the best prices are just after kickoff, and you will have missed TBDBITL perform march out of the tunnel, and down the field playing "Buckeye Battle Cry" .

Depending on where your seats are, weather may or may not affect you. From Luxury boxes to a cold November day to 80 degrees in the sun, one should pack everything when travelling in Ohio during the fall months.
