Ohio State Football Spring Game and Fan fest!

Tickets to an Ohio State Football game can be expensive and hard to get. Fans can get a chance to enjoy an experience in the ‘Show for cheap with the Ohio State Football Spring Game!

Initially the game was expected to switch to a showcase format to help protect against injuries due to the shortened Spring practice season. But the team is ready to go, and the Spring Game will follow the typical scrimmage format as past years!

The team will be divided into Scarlett and Gray squads for a game day format scrimmage. The first several series featuring the first team veterans will play “thud” tempo without tackling. After a few series, they’ll start tackling, though quarterbacks will not be live.
