About Schottenstein Center

Schottenstein Center

The Schottenstein Center, which is also known as Value City Arena, is a sports venue in Columbus, Ohio thatโ€™s owned by Ohio State University. It serves as the home of the Ohio State menโ€™s and womenโ€™s basketball teams as well as the Ohio State menโ€™s hockey team. Since it opened in 1998, the Schottenstein Center has also hosted many high-profile concerts. In fact, Bruce Springsteen released a live album of a show he performed there in 2005.

 

Where are the Best Places to Sit at the Schottenstein Center

During Schottenstein Center concerts, some of the closest views of the performer can be found in floor sections 1-4. Among traditional stadium seats, sections 104-107 will be located closest to the stage, although these seats will be on the side of the stage and slightly elevated. For seats that have a direct view of the stage but arenโ€™t located on the floor, sections 131, 231, and 331 are the best options.

For sporting events at the Schottenstein Center, sections 105, 106, 122, and 123 will be the closest to the court or ice and near mid-court or mid-ice. However, the sections directly behind them, meaning 205, 206, 222, and 223, will have the best sightlines in the Schottenstein Center, as they will be slightly elevated but still near the center of the action. 

 

Tips for Visiting the Schottenstein Center

Visitors to the Schottenstein Center should plan to get there early. Part of this is logistical because parking isnโ€™t always easy to find because the arena is located within a college campus. Of course, walking around the campus for a little bit isnโ€™t such a terrible thing if the weather is nice. Finally, getting to a basketball game at the Schottenstein Center early means being able to watch the student section lock arms and sway to the sound of โ€œHells Bells,โ€ which is a tradition at Ohio State.

 

Foods to Try at the Schottenstein Center

The food inside the Schottenstein Center includes some local favorites like Roosters and Donatos that are worth a try for out-of-town visitors. Graeterโ€™s ice cream is also an in-stadium option thatโ€™s worth a try if youโ€™ve never had it before. The one item you wonโ€™t find in any other venue is the Brutus Pretzel, which is a little expensive but worth it if youโ€™re hungry and like sweet pretzels.
