West Lane Garage and Lane Avenue Garage Football Parking Impacts on October 26

Oct 14, 2024

As you are likely aware, an Ohio State home football game is scheduled for Saturday. On game days, the university reserves West Lane Avenue Garage for game day use only. As such, the garage must be cleared of all vehicles.

On game days, the Lane Avenue Garage will be utilized for ADA parking; due to this, transient (visitor) access to the garage will not be available after 11:59 p.m. on Fridays before a home football game. Permit access to the garage will be uninterrupted.

To avoid relocation fees, please be sure to remove your vehicle from the West Lane Garage by 11:59 p.m. Friday.
