Ohio State Unveils Nine Field-Level Suites at Ohio Stadium

The pricey packages scheduled for use by the Sept. 5 opener have prompted social media backlash over obstructed sightlines, restricted field access, marching band relocation, loss of traditional postgame field-rush routes.

Overview

  • Ohio State revealed nine field-level suites in the south end zone on Wednesday, and each suite is listed at $142,700 per year and holds up to 12 people with eight standing-room spots.
  • The athletic department says suite holders will enter through the team tunnel and receive access to the new 1922 Club with all-inclusive food and drink.
  • Project work also included a new turf installed to NFL standards that is complete ahead of the Sept. 5 home opener.
  • Fans on social media have ridiculed the price and warned the suites block sightlines, displace the marching band to the north end and close the traditional path used for postgame field rushes.
  • The program follows a June 2025 plan to add the suites plus 400 premium chairback seats and marks a push to monetize hospitality at the nearly 100-year-old stadium while testing fan tolerance for higher-tier premium options.
