COLUMBUS, Ohio – With the 2009 Buckeye Football season just days away, NBC 4 gives you the Fast Facts on this year’s opening game day. Kick-off will be at noon and it is Alumni Band Day. The game will be televised on ESPN if you can’t make it to the Shoe for the home opener.
However, getting to the Shoe may be a little different for some fans this year with the construction on S.R 315. Some options available for game-day parking is try COTA. You can park at the Ohio Expo Center for $5 and then pay $4 for a round trip ride to and from campus. Another parking option is park at the City Center Garage and ride the Game Day Shuttle to campus. You’ll get dropped off at University Hall and it will cost you $10 to park and ride. Both the Expo Center and City Center parking options will start three hours prior to kick-off and end two hours following the game.
For those of you living closer to campus, you can pedal to the game. With the Pedal Instead Program, there is complimentary bike parking along the Olentangy Trail just south of Woody Hayes Drive. Volunteers will be on-hand to keep an eye on your bicycles.
