Seating
Ohio Stadium opens at 11:00 a.m. on commencement day. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
The facility provides easy access for guests with permanent or temporary disabilities. Accessible seating for those guests is located at entry level and throughout the Stadium. Guests in wheelchairs as well as those unable to climb stairs, and one companion, are permitted in these designated areas. Only one other person may accompany the guest with the disability so that all guests with special needs can be accommodated. Contact the Office of Commencement and Special Events at (614) 292-9051 by May 30 to make arrangements.
An American Sign Language interpreter will be present during the ceremony in Section 16AA. Due to space limitations, only one other person may be seated with the hearing impaired guest in this area.
Live captioning of the ceremony will also be available on the Stadium Scoreboard, which can be viewed from all seating areas.
