Ohio State's arena, among the largest college basketball venues.
Where to sit
Best value
Lower-level (100s) corner sections — close to floor prices below premium sideline rates.
For sports
Center-ice / half-court 100s, rows 5–20.
For concerts
Floor if you want energy; lower-level sections at a 45° angle to the stage often see and hear better than floor rows far back.
Budget play
Upper-level (200s/300s) center rows 1–5 — the rail keeps sightlines clean.
