A Different "Home" Game: Your Guide to Gameday
O-H-I-O!
Football Saturdays are back! While that phrase normally generates a great deal of excitement, it is especially true this year. It has been a long road to get here and it is thanks to the sacrifices made and health guidelines followed — on-campus and off — that this can happen. However, that doesn’t mean that everything is back to normal.
Due to COVID-19, there will be no tailgates this year and all OSU parking lots will be closed to the public.
But you can still enjoy the game from the comfort of your own home! Here are some tips on how to enjoy safely.
Safety First
Keep any watch gatherings small (< 10 people).
Wear your masks.
Wash your hands.
Keep a safe distance of at least 6 feet.
New Ways to Enjoy
The game will be broadcast live on FOX and on the radio station 97.1 The Fan.
A special livestream for fans will also be occurring during the game. It can be watched at ohiostatebuckeyes.com.
