Geocache Description:

The Ohio State University – Stadium View Cache is located on the campus of the Ohio State University and can be found at Jesse Owens Plaza, adjacent to Ohio Stadium (the Horseshoe).


The cache is located at the Jesse Owens Plaza just outside Ohio Stadium. The plaza is named in honor of the Ohio State alumnus and Champion Olympic athlete Jesse Owens. The Plaza features a bronze memorial sculpture honoring Jesse Owens, "Celebration for a Champion" by Curtis Patterson. The sculpture is a grouping of triangular planes, with 90 degree angles, each standing on one of the two shorter, equal sides. Two of the triangles meet, forming a corner, and the other triangles parallel them and extend farther out. The Plaza is near the North entrance of Ohio Stadium.

Be sure to take a picture of yourself in front of Ohio Stadium (aka, "the Horseshoe") and post it here with your log entry.



"It behooves a man with God-given ability to stand 10 feet tall. You never know how many youngsters may be watching." - Jesse Owens.

The item you are looking for contains a log and some room left over for a few small items such as Geocoins, small flat Trackables, and very small sized trade items. There should be a small pencil inside, but bring your own writing utensil just in case.

The Cache is not hard to find but is rated a difficulty 2 due to the high Muggle traffic in the area during the day. Please use stealth when searching to help keep this cache from being muggled. Best times to search are weekends and at night but beware, there may be someone lurking around the corner when you think there is no-one around.


Be advised: Parking is enforced on campus 24/7.


Be sure to:
-Take a picture of yourself in front of Ohio Stadium (the Horseshoe) and post it here with your log entry.
-Bring a writing utensil.
-Search and find the cache very discreetly. Many Muggles in the area during the day.
-Log your find.
-Replace container tightly and securely in the EXACT same spot you retrieved it from.
