Buckeyes announce game-day protocols, unveil new on-field sponsor
COLUMBUS — Ohio State is only eight days away from its highly-anticipated season opener against Notre Dame.
The Buckeyes enter the season with serious national and conference championship aspirations, along with several potential award-winning players.
Paramount to its hopeful championship season, Ohio State has announced its 2022 gameday protocols ahead of the regular season kickoff.
Safelite becomes first-ever on-field sponsor for Ohio State
The Horseshoe is celebrating its 100th birthday this season — the bash that is scheduled for the Buckeyes Oct. 1 game against Rutgers — and it welcomes an on-field sponsor.
Safelite is the official on-field sponsor at Ohio Stadium and two of the company’s logos will be printed onto the newly-laid artificial turf.
The Columbus-headquartered company has sponsored Ohio State athletics since 2014 and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future.
Ohio State pregame lineup
Some of the best aspects about attending an Ohio State game take place before the game even starts.
The Buckeyes announced the formal times for parking lot openings, all information related to the skull session pep rally and when gates open at Ohio Stadium.
Fans are able to park as early as 5 a.m. on game days in designated lots. Doors for the skull session, which takes place at St. John’s Arena, open four hours before kickoff and the performance begins two hours prior to kickoff.
“FanFest” begins on the south lawn at St. John’s Arena and starts three hours before kickoff.
Want to see The Best Damn Band In The Land enter the ‘Shoe? The iconic marching band makes its entrance into Ohio Stadium 20 minutes before kickoff.
Other notes
Ohio State will retain its no-bag policy for this season, and will also have metal detectors fans must pass through prior to entry into the stadium.
Mobile ticketing, parking and self-scanning tickets will remain in place for the 2022 season.
