OSU Football Hotel Room

Due to the high volume of reservation requests for Ohio State home football game weekends, The Blackwell Inn will hold a lottery for overnight accommodations for Ohio State Football home game weekends. 

The lottery is officially closed for the 2024 Home Football Season, however, you can email BlackwellReservations@osu.edu to be placed on our waitlist for home game weekends.

 

The 2025 lottery will open in early December 2024. Check back for details.

All applications submitted during this time frame will have equal access for selection.

Requests received after July 8, 2024, will NOT be included in the initial lottery, and will be placed on our waitlist.

Guests calling in for reservations will be asked to complete the online form to ensure fairness and consistency in the process. Any duplicate entries will be removed.

There is no advantage to early registration as all names are entered into a random lottery for the reservation selection.

On Tuesday, July 9, 2024, names will be randomly selected from the lottery registration for reservations. Those guest names selected can expect to receive an email from our reservations department starting Tuesday, July 9, 2024, to confirm their reservation. If an individual does not respond within 24 hours, the request will go on our waitlist, and we will move forward with the next guest. All emails will be sent no later than Friday, July 26, 2024.

The 2024 OSU Football weekend rate starts at $399 per evening for a room with one king bed, for non-conference games and $469 per evening for conference games. Rates do not include applicable taxes and valet parking.

  • Reservations require a two-night minimum stay on Friday and Saturday evenings.
  • Not all home game weekends may be available to the public. We will update our site accordingly.
  • Reservations are non-refundable at the time of the booking. An advanced deposit, plus tax, is required for a stay of two nights. Saturday nights require an advanced deposit, plus tax.

Once the hotel is fully committed, all remaining reservation requests will be placed on our waitlist, which is managed throughout the season. All waitlisted guests will receive an email notification from our reservations department confirming this status.

Please note, rooms are not intended for resale and may not be transferred without proper notification to and approval from the hotel.

If making a reservation on someone’s behalf, please include contact details of the person staying in the room.

The Blackwell Inn has the right to cancel any reservation that is transferred or resold inappropriately, including the sale of a room above booked value, and any deposits will be forfeited.
