The Columbus Blue Jackets‘ first game in Ohio Stadium (and the first outdoor hockey game at the venue ever) is almost here.
The Blue Jackets will take on the Detroit Red Wings in Ohio Stadium at 6 p.m. March 1. The game, officially known as the 2025 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series, will attract upward of 90,000 hockey fans.
Most of these fans will have to deal with the pesky problem of parking their cars. The NHL and Ohio State University have several parking options for fans, but they don’t come cheap.
