Nice arena but Nationwide is laid out better and also typically has a friendlier staff than this place.

Unbelievable experience! Our high school marching band was invited to play alongside the visiting team's band (Miami, OH). If you're an OSU fan and have never been to a skull session, its a definite must. You won't be disappointed.

Went for the four miler venue great. Staff need trained on locations during this event. Asked 4 times for directions given 4 different answers.

If you've never been, go to a Skull Session before an OH State home game. Great pep rally and college game day atmosphere to get you psyched up to cheer on the Bucks. It's free, and a fantastic opportunity to hear the Best Damn Band in the Land, OH State players and coaches, as well as some local high school marching bands.

So glad they spared this arena! Legendary games were played here and this offers the perfect tune up to a football game on game day. Feels like you are stepping back into the 1950's but the place is as solid, fun and interesting as any place you are likely to go. Check it out!

Usually the OSU basketball games are played at the Schottenstein Center, but this was a nice change of pace. You walk in here and you feel like you're at a high school sporting event. The gym feels a lot smaller which means you feel a lot closer to the players! I was very excited to get a chance to see a game in this arena.

Attended volleyball game. It was interesting though not many others were in attendance. Enjoyed with my daughter and hope that we can return again at some point.

Classic, I always feel so connected to the rich history of "The" Ohio State University when inside St. John Arena.

The Skull Session before a football game is one of the great traditions in college football. This is a great arena to host this event. I imagine that it gives a great home court advantage to the basketball team

A game experience here beats the Schott hands down. Love the look of the structure on the inside. The vaulted ceiling, the wooden seats, lots of character!

Great place to catch the Skull Session before the Ohio State Buckeyes' home games. I love St John's Arena. You feel close to the action no matter where you're sitting. It's free, and you get a chance to hear the coaches, players, and TBDBITL speak and rile the crowd up before the home games. Make sure that you aren't carrying a purse or a book bag, else they will not let you into the arena. The policies that apply at the Shoe, apply for the arena as well. The arena gets hot hot hot when the weather is still warm outside, so expect to sweat a bit if it's warm outside!
