NOTE ON MEDIA CREDENTIALS: Please note that parents, school or

PARKING: A limited number of reserved parking passes will be
mailed to some media outlets, which are valid for the lots immediately
south of Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. For those media who do not
receive a parking pass, free parking is on a first-come, first-served
basis in the Buckeye Lots, located at the corner of Ackerman Road and
Fred Taylor Drive just northwest of the stadium.
MEDIA WORK SPACE: Interviews are permitted on the infield and
media may wait in the media tent located beside the awards podium. Two

Owens Memorial Stadium (rooms 130 and 140). The OSU softball stadium
press box is also available if both work rooms are full.
WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS: Free wireless internet access is
available throughout the facility. A username and pass code can be
obtained at the media check-in tent in the southwest corner of the

qualifying for the state tournament) will be available through the OHSAA
web site Saturday and Sunday, May 26 and 27. Divisions I and III will be
