Officials outline plans for football home games - 08/29/05

Ohio State kicks off the 2005 football season with a home game on Saturday (9/3). The game against Miami University of Ohio, the first of seven home games this season, will bring tens of thousands of people to campus.

University and athletics administrators and public safety officials, who are working to make the game-day experience enjoyable, safe and family-friendly, will offer information on parking, stadium policies and security in a news conference at 10 a.m. on Tuesday (8/30) in the Ohio Stadium home media room. Media should enter gate 32 in the southeast tower and take the elevator to the third floor.

Those attending are Rick Amweg, assistant chief of University Police; Beth Kelley, associate director of transportation and parking services; and Richelle Simonson, associate director of athletics. The availability is the media's best opportunity to gather information on home football games before Saturday's game.
