Inside 43215: Downtown Lifestyles
BUCKEYE BUS
What is THE most agonizing thing about going to a Buckeye game?
The suspense?
Watching a quarterback sack?
Or maybe it’s the drive to the stadium. The longest mile can be wrought with road-ragers and texting drivers. Add the massive road construction and…
Ladies and Gentlemen, what we have here is a failure to transportate… but not if you park downtown for the game!
We are pleased to partner with The Ohio State University to offer prime parking for Buckeye games. What makes it prime? It’s stress-free game-day parking at the City Center Garage on Rich Street. Ten bucks buys a spot in the lot and two tickets to ride.
Ride what? It’s a lovely shuttle with air conditioning, restrooms and a permit to unload at University Hall (steps away from the stadium). After the game, take the shuttle back downtown to enjoy Buckeye Specials at our neighborhood restaurants.
And for you savvy souls who already live downtown? A shuttle ticket is only $5, round-trip.

My wife and I rode the City Center shuttle for both the Navy and USC games. After a wonderful experience for the Navy game we were hoping the same would apply one week later. You should be ashamed! We stood in line for over two hours. During that time only three buses (one a 30 passenger one) came. There was no one present to give information. Bus drivers only response was, “I don’t know.” If there was a problem with routing, that should have been worked out in advance. Also, OSU and Columbus need to realize that putting lights on Summit on flash after a certain time of night should not apply for night games. Overall, this proved a complete lack of planning and foresight.
This is not the way to showcase downtown Columbus.
