The sturdiness and beauty of the bricks. The many entrances. The cannon in the North endzone. The band intermingled in the student section. Ohio University has a beautiful campus and Peden Stadium is a great compliment. Again, I did mention my bias, the restrooms do have lots of room for improvement and the lines for the concession stand could be improved. I'm going to focus on the positive. There is not a bad seat in the house! Athens and the Bobcats know how to put on a show. Rufus coming leading the football team out on a Harley is a great bonus! As I believe in supporting local, I also believe in supporting small, supporting the little guy. If you have not been to an event at Peden Stadium splurge the $12 give or take a little and get there. You will have an amazing time. Remember, I warned you about the restrooms, and I'm holding out that someday they renovate them all!

With just a couple of weeks left in the regular season, the NHl's Columbus Blue Jackets had a…read morechance to make the playoffs. Long story short, they snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. I went to one of those games at Nationwide Arena and this is my story. I was able to get a level 200 ticket from a third party and with a $20 coupon the total cost was $45. See my photo for the view from my seat. There are several parking garages around the arena. The farther the garage is away from the arena the higher the cost. Figure $10 to $25 to park, I lucked out at $10 that night and it was only a 5 minute walk. There is street parking but you have to be really lucky. Uber drivers are not permitted near the arena so you will end up walking anyway Hockey has 3 periods with an intermission between periods 1 & 2, and 2 & 3. Nationwide arena has numerous and diversified concession stands. They have concessions that cater to dietary choices. Get out is is also easy. Streets are blocked off to create one way traffic. Traffic is flowing out is directed one way so that cars are not cutting lanes. I'm still proud to be a member of the Fifth line.

Cooper Stadium was a minor league baseball stadium that was packed full of people and one of the heartbeats of the smaller Columbus Sports Scene that is in the shadow of OSU.

In 2009, a new stadium will supposedly be ready in the Arena District for the Clippers. Still, the history of Cooper will be missed. Though any of the AAA team's games here are a blast, the time to come is Dime a Dog night. Every Monday when the team plays at home, hot dogs are available for $.10. It's not uncommon to see folks with boxes of them. And there's is Leinenkugel's on tap too! Columbus gets a lot of grief for not hosting pro teams from any of the "big three" sports. The Clippers are an asset, though, and a game is a great way to spend a summer evening.

Drove in from Virginia Beach for a Pittsburgh-Wheeling hockey weekend and wow did Wheeling come through!!! This arena is packed with Americana. I love the table vendors in the concourse and the amazing local sports history displays everywhere! And I bought a whole pizza for like $5! Yes! The actual game entertainment was on point! We had the young girl crush the anthem, and then the choir sang God Bless America from the stands, there was an intermission dance routine - everything. There are few places I've felt more proud to be an American than in this little arena. And the Nailers - whoa. They can play. A vicious, competitive team live and I'm happy I got to see this side of the Penguins organization. Thanks much for having me Wheeling!

I've been to this stadium many times and have never thought to give it a review. I'm truthfully…read morenot a huge football fan but as an alumni, a resident of Columbus, and someone married to one and prior to that always seemed to end up dating them I must admit there is a certain electricity around the campus on game day. The band and cheerleaders are fantastic, and the entire production is top notch. And of course, while I don't even really like football, these players are some of the best of the best, and I do enjoy watching in person. If the weather is nice, that is. Parking is tricky but that's also something I'm used to. Taking an uber, bike riding, scooters, parking on West Campus and taking the shuttle(or walking if it's nice), or even doing a park and ride on the Cota can all be helpful options A few notes, while this stadium is gorgeous, and iconic, the food options are pretty limited. The only thing I have ever actually enjoyed was a Buckeye so shout out to the Buckeye lady! The costs of everything while high are to be expected., But it would be great to have some additional options, we all know you guys have connections around here. The bathrooms could also use an upgrade. Otherwise definitely recommend for any Buckeye fan.
