Ohio Stadium At Capacity for Spring Game
Tickets are no longer being sold with approx. 79,000 already distributed & capacity reduced because of construction
COLUMBUS, Ohio–Tickets are no longer being sold for the Ohio State vs. Michigan men’s lacrosse game and Ohio State’s LiFESports Spring Game, presented by Nationwide, both taking place Saturday at Ohio Stadium. Only individuals who have already purchased tickets will be admitted into the stadium, as will children under the age of 6. Ohio State students will still be admitted for free with a valid BuckID at Gates 32 through 36.
Parking is free in the lots around the stadium and on campus, with the exception of the west stadium lot. Gates into the stadium will open at 10:00 a.m. with lacrosse game action set to begin at 11:00 a.m., followed by the Spring Game at 1:45 p.m. Both games are included with admission.
About 18,000 seats will not be in use during the games because of construction in B-Deck and restoration work on parts of C-Deck. There are approximately 79,000 tickets distributed, and based on typical average attendance of Ohio State students and children under 6, the expectation is the stadium will be at capacity for the games.
Even with the unavailable seats in Ohio Stadium, Ohio State will still seek to lead the nation in spring game attendance for a fourth consecutive season. Ohio Stadium led the nation with 80,134 fans in an under-construction stadium last year, with a national record 100,189 fans in 2016 and with 99,391 in 2015.

-- Updated 4/12 12:00pm ET --
COLUMBUS, Ohio– Due to predicted weather that shows thunderstorms in the Columbus area on Saturday morning, the Ohio State/Michigan men’s lacrosse game, originally scheduled for April 14 at 11 a.m., has been moved to Friday, April 13 and will begin at 7 p.m. The game will still air live on BTN.
Tickets previously purchased will be honored for the new date and time. Fans who are not able to attend the rescheduled date may obtain a refund at point of purchase. Or, an unused ticket will be honored at any remaining men’s lacrosse or baseball game this season. After Friday night, the Buckeyes have one remaining home game inside Ohio Stadium: Saturday, April 28 versus No. 8 Rutgers at 4 p.m.
More details will be forthcoming from Madison Reid and the rest of the Ohio State lacrosse staff on changes to the schedule for alumni weekend activities.
Ohio State is evaluating the weather forecast for Saturday and will be making a final decision on the 2018 LiFE Sports Spring Game at a later time.
