Ohio State vs Oregon Game Day Parking Guide for CampusParc Permit Holders

Ohio State permit holders planning to park on campus for the Saturday, November 7 game against Oregon at Ohio Stadium must handle a series of sweeping vehicle relocations and strict access rules, osu.campusparc.com reported. Day-of-game lots open at 5:00 a.m. Saturday, but dozens of facilities must be cleared by Friday night to accommodate event operations and broadcast crews.

Game Day Parking Rules and Permit Requirements

For fans holding annual CampusParc permits, game day parking at Ohio Stadium requires careful timing and adherence to digital verification. Permit holders may park at no additional charge in designated day-of-game lots on a first-come, first-served basis. To secure this access, drivers must scan a valid access keycard or QR code. Drivers lacking a valid keycard or QR code will face event parking fees ranging from $30 to $60, payable by credit card only. Digital QR codes remain accessible 24/7 through individual parking accounts or the official Ohio State mobile application.

Officials advise motorists who normally park in the Lane Avenue Garage to utilize the Arps Garage instead, a measure designed to preserve vital space in the Lane Avenue facility for general game attendees. Meanwhile, day-of-game access concludes at 10:00 a.m. Sunday, after which hourly parking rates apply in areas where standard permits are invalid. Captured spaces will also reopen to standard hourly parking on Sunday.

Friday Night Relocation Deadlines Across Campus

Approximately 80 spaces in the West Stadium Lot close as early as Thursday, November 5, to accommodate television broadcast infrastructure. Any vehicles remaining in those specific spaces face immediate relocation at the owner’s expense. The remaining spaces in the West Stadium Lot remain available until a strict Friday deadline.

In total, 28 campus parking lots are designated for day-of-game operations and must be completely vacated by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, November 6. The following 28 parking lots are used for day-of-game operations and must be vacated by 11:59 p.m. on Friday:
