Ohio Stadium Architecture
Designed
by architect Howard Dwight Smith, Ohio Stadium, nestled along the
Olentangy River, is characterized by its great arches and grand
rotunda at the north entrance. Smith's travels to Italy became a
prominent architectural flavor in the project. Ohio Stadium's design
draws direct influence from the Roman Coliseum and the Pantheon,
giving a classic feel to the structure. After all the
renovations, architects were able to combine the old with the new,
keeping the integrity of the original building while adding almost
36,000 seats to the stadium's original design.
