Going to the Ohio State Buckeyes spring game on Saturday? You might not have to break the bank to park.
The last of the 15 spring practices will involve a spring game on April 12, an annual intrasquad scrimmage for the Buckeyes. It's the team's first appearance on the field after winning the College Football Playoff national championship in January.
The game had briefly been rebranded as a spring showcase, but Ohio State announced this week it would stick with the spring game branding and format.
