Ohio Stadium hosts NHL Stadium Series featuring Ohio themes
Ohio Stadium is being transformed for the NHL Stadium Series game between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Detroit Red Wings on March 1. This marks the first NHL game at the stadium, featuring a rink designed with Ohio State football themes. The field design includes a Buckeye helmet motif and helmet stickers that will be added for each Blue Jackets goal. A concert by Twenty One Pilots will take place during the first intermission, and a pep rally is scheduled before the game. More than 90,000 tickets have been sold for the event. The game will also honor late Columbus player Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, with tributes planned throughout.
