Project Overview
A. Project Description
This project is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the enduring symbol of tradition, pride, and unity. Ohio Stadium serves
as the sacred ground where Buckeye spirit comes alive. Constructed in 1922, the stadium is home to the Ohio State
Buckeyes Football and the community of Buckeye faithful who cheer them on. This project will renovate approximately
12,000 SF of vacant space on the east side of Ohio Stadium into premium club and event space. The project includes
new kitchen, catering space and a full bar on the main level, plus a mezzanine space with an additional bar and private
event rooms. The space will host approx. 750 patrons for game days events and daily restaurant operations.
