NOTE ON MEDIA CREDENTIALS: Please
note that parents, school photographers and coaches may not receive

PARKING: A limited number of reserved parking passes will be mailed
to some media outlets, which are good for the lots immediately south of

Buckeye Lots, located at the corner of Ackerman Road and Fred Taylor
Drive northwest of the stadium.

press box of the stadium. The OSU softball stadium is available if both
work rooms are full (press box). A note regarding your seating
assignment will be placed in the envelope containing your credential.
