For those who've driven in Columbus, OH on a game Sat, a question

I live in Cincy. Stay on 71, be your shortest and fastest route. At Cincy take 275 to miss all of the traffic in Cincy proper.
I just came from up there because we were in Pittsburgh for a conference a few weeks ago. Driving through Cincy was not a problem but we did miss the rush hours both on the way up and down. In Columbus, there is a bit of construction going on the 70/71 leg and interchanges near downtown, so it may be worth taking 270 to avoid that, especially if it is near rush hour. I think most of the construction is on the South 71/West 70 side, too.
Columbus is big enough where "gameday" traffic headed to the university shouldn't be that much worse than "normal" traffic (which is to say you could come to a complete stop for several minutes for no apparent reason). Since it's Saturday, 71 through Cincy shouldn't be that bad (but if you somehow end up on 75, all bets are off).
