State Track Meet Traffic Could Be Problem
06-03-2008 10:44 pm
Those who are planning to
be on the campus of The Ohio State University Saturday, June 7, should allow
additional travel time and expect heavy traffic since there are several events
throughout the day that will bring thousands of visitors to campus. The Ohio
High School Athletic Association’s State Track and Field Tournaments, Dublin
City Schools graduations, Columbus City Schools graduations and several OSU
convocations are a few of the larger events that will produce high volumes of
traffic on highways and streets around campus.
The OHSAA’s State Track and
Field Tournaments will be held at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium, with the running
event finals beginning at 9:30 a.m. for Division III, 1:00 p.m. for Division II
and 4:30 p.m. for Division I. All fans attending are encouraged to use the
Ackerman Road exit off of State Route 315. After taking the exit, head east on
Ackerman Road and turn right at the first light, which is Fred Taylor Drive.
Free parking will be available in the Buckeye Lots, located near the
intersection of Ackerman Road and Fred Taylor Drive and close to Jesse Owens
Memorial Stadium. Between 15,000 and 20,000 fans are expected to attend portions
of the state tournaments that day, and gates at the stadium open at 7:30 a.m.
