This pre-game pep rally and concert will get you ready to cheer on those Buckeyes – and best of all – it’s FREE!
The band will march from Ohio Stadium to St. John Arena 2.5 hours before the start of the game, where they’ll entertain at the Skull Session, featuring the coaches and the Ohio State Buckeye Football Team, along with special guest bands. The sessions start 2 hours and 20 minutes before kickoff and have room for 10,000+ fans. Seats are in demand, so you may want to arrive early! Doors open 2 hours before each session begins. After the Skull Session, they’ll march back to Ohio Stadium for the pregame show and the Ohio State Buckeye football game and amazing halftime show.
Parking in the area is not free on game day, but scope out free or cheap parking, ride the bus, or hop on the Olentangy Bike Trail (which leads to campus).

I’m not affiliated with the event, but I do know that parking passes aren’t typically free (or easy to get) on game day, and you’d likely need to bring your own wheelchair. There are tens of thousands of people on campus for game day and it’s not possible for the University to accommodate everyone who may need assistance. Perhaps if you call the university, you’ll be able to find a more accurate answer.
Is there handicap parking for skull sessions and a wheelchair to take me up to the doors?
