Early online reactions to Ohio State's new on-field suites, located behind the south end zone of Ohio Stadium, are mixed.
The addition of the new suites was announced on June 3, 2025. Along with the nine suites, each with a capacity of 12 people, 400 chairback seats were installed above the suites. According to the Ohio State Athletics website, the chairback seats have already sold out.
Patrons of both will also have access to the 1922 Club, an exclusive area open three hours before kickoff where they can indulge in food, beer and wine for no additional cost. The club is also accessible on non-game days with membership costing $4,500 per person.
The cost of the new suites is $142,700 for the season. The chairback seats, meanwhile, run $6,000 annually.

Wonder how this affects the view for the actual students at Ohio State who will be seated/standing in Block O behind these suites. https://t.co/v0lSefFkRf

I think field level suites are one of the worst ways to watch a football game https://t.co/hugqhYpd1s

The problem with suites like this is the end zone seats are not good seats of they're close to the field. https://t.co/4JySKrJcA7

Such a good idea to keep the students and band further away from the field.

Hoping they can fill the entire south stands with private equity bros wearing Patagonia vests (with a Block O and Chase Bank logo on the lapel, naturally).
Think of how much NIL that would generate! https://t.co/72OY9lBM2L
For people who dont know, these suites arent meant for football fans. Theyre meant for people who want to socialize in an expensive atmosphere and flaunt money and clout chase. Its a rich social booth, not a premium football viewing suite.

I can’t lie. On-field suites? Pretty dope concept. Ohio State may be the first, but they certainly won’t be the last… Probably not the best view, but the interactions are going to be crazy. 🔥 https://t.co/q6TheKHViu
