About Woody Hayes Athletic Complex

The Woody Hayes Athletic Complex (WHAC) is a key indoor athletics facility owned and operated by The Ohio State University. Located at 535 Irving Schottenstein Drive in Columbus, OH, WHAC serves as a high-capacity training hub for football and a variety of other sports. The indoor field measures 400 feet long by 220 feet wide with a 65-foot ceiling and an All-Pro Turf surface, making it a versatile space for practices, scrimmages, and indoor competitions. While public spectator seating has historically been limited, events like lacrosse have drawn around 700 spectators, with modern event listings showing seating options on platforms like Ticketmaster. We’ve got you covered with practical details on parking, transit, and nearby accommodations and dining to help you plan your visit.

For a smooth experience, consider secure parking in CampusParc lots just steps from WHAC (approx. 300 spaces available nearby). Transit options include The Ohio State University Campus Area Bus Service (CABS) and nearby COTA OSU stops, with routes and stops listed by OSU and COTA.
