Parksy Parking Near Ohio Stadium After the Final Whistle
The closest priced Parksy option is a private parking space in Columbus, 0.7 mi from the venue, costing $30 a month. The distance makes it a practical choice for drivers who want a reserved base rather than a short event-only stop, although the walk back after a match is longer than a space beside the stadium.
Two outdoor parking lots in Columbus sit 1.0 mi away at $86 a month, while two OEC Fairgrounds spaces are 1.5 mi away at $7 a day. A private parking space in Columbus is 1.6 mi away and costs $4 an hour.

Street Restrictions Around the Woody Hayes Drive Entrance
The venue address is 411 Woody Hayes Drive in University District District 2, near Short North. Event parking is assigned by location, and parking is limited to the intended use of one state-registered vehicle (am.ticketmaster.com). Drivers heading toward the stadium should expect event-day access to be organized around lot assignments rather than unrestricted curb parking.
The rule matters on busy football and concert days because an oversized vehicle or tailgate setup cannot use a standard event space, while lots are filled first-come, first-served within their assigned areas (am.ticketmaster.com).
