97-08-20 Advisory: Officials will discuss football parking

                  NEWS ADVISORY:
OHIO STATE OFFICIALS WILL DISCUSS FOOTBALL PARKING

     Fans driving to the Ohio State University football game vs.
Wyoming next week will face heavy traffic and changes in traffic
patterns and parking arrangements.  The 1997 Eddie Robinson
Football Classic will be played at 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 28,
following a regular business day at the university.

     Many students, faculty and staff will be leaving campus at
the same time fans converge on campus.  The closing of a portion
of state Route 315 likely will add to the congestion.

     University officials who head transportation and parking
services will be available for interviews at 11 a.m. Friday, Aug.
22 in Room 135 Bevis Hall, 1080 Carmack Road. Bevis Hall is on
the university’s west campus and is accessible on Carmack from
Kenny Road or Lane Avenue. There is plenty of visitor parking.

     Present will be Sarah Blouch, director of transportation and
parking services, and Beth Kelley, director of transportation.
They also will be happy to take your questions at other times,
but because both will be busy preparing for the game and start of
school, the Friday session provides the most convenient and
efficient way to speak with both of them.
