Temporary Parking Impacts in West Stadium Lot Beginning March 16

Mar 15, 2026

Starting March 16, 2026:  

🚧 West Stadium Lot Update  

  • Approximately 70 spaces (southeast corner) will be temporarily closed for underground utility work 

  • Work continues through late March or early April 

  • Spaces reopen as soon as construction wraps 

Starting May 7, 2026: 

  • Approximately 15 spaces (southern end) in the West Stadium Lot — including 1 ADA space â€” will temporarily close for construction of the new TV compound 

  • Construction runs through August 15, 2026. Work before May 7 will take place on the hill and will not affect parking spaces 

Access changes: 

  • The southern entrance to the parking lot will be unaccessible 

  • Sidewalk on the east side of Cannon Drive will be closed 

  • ADA access from West Stadium Lot to the Towers will not be available 

  • Accessible parking is located in the MidTower Lot 

Why:  
Ohio State is adding parking spaces for its TV compound and facilitating a duct bank and waterline installation project. 

What this means for you:  
Plan for slightly reduced capacity on the west side of the Ohio Stadium lot during this time.
