Few programs in college football carry the pedigree of Ohio State Buckeyes football. The Buckeyes have represented Ohio State University since 1890, competing in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision as a member of the Big Ten Conference, and the numbers hold up against any blueblood in the sport: a .736 all-time winning percentage, nine claimed national championships, and seven Heisman Trophy winners. Since 1922, the Buckeyes have played their home games at Ohio Stadium, the 102,780-seat venue on campus in Columbus, Ohio.
The history runs deep. Chic Harley arrived in 1916 and led the Buckeyes to the first Big Ten championship in school history that fall. The crowds he drew were the push behind Ohio Stadium, which opened in 1922 after being funded entirely by fan donations. Paul Brown delivered the program's first national championship in 1942, and Woody Hayes then set the standard every successor chases, piling up 205 wins, five national championships, and 13 Big Ten titles over 28 seasons from 1951 to 1978, all of which still stand as team records.
The modern chapters hold their own. Jim Tressel's 2002 team finished 14-0 and won the Fiesta Bowl to claim the BCS national championship. Urban Meyer's 2014 team won the first-ever College Football Playoff, and Ryan Day's 2024 team captured the first title of the 12-team playoff era, finishing the job with a 34-23 win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the championship game on January 20, 2025. Layer in 39 Big Ten championships, second-most in the conference, and it's no mystery why Ohio State Buckeyes football tickets stay in demand season after season.
