Ohio State's game-day lots and garages open at 5 a.m., first come, first served, and nothing goes down before then. Propane grills are fine but charcoal is banned on campus, Ohio's open container law applies in the lots, and parking is card or phone only. Measure your setup at home, because the car and the tailgate share one 8.5 x 15-foot space.
