Section 12A
Ohio Stadium

- A Deck Seating at Ohio Stadium refers to lower-level sections that form the core of the stadium's horseshoe shape.  Sections are numbered 1A-30A with even numbers on the east side and odd on the west. A Deck Information  Most A Deck sections start just 12 rows from the field - directly behind AA Deck Seats. They are also preferred over AA Deck sections because their sitelines aren't blocked by players and personnel on the sideline. These sections have up to 37 rows of bleacher seats. The first row - usually labeled 1 - is also where the section tunnel is located. Sitting close to the first row will mean fewer stairs - but you'll also be more distracted by foot traffic. There are no A Deck sections directly behind the Ohio State bench; this space is made up of Club Seats. But to be on the OSU sideline, choose an odd-numbered section (e.g.: 17A). Not only will you be close to the Buckeyes, but you'll also be on the less sunny side of the field. Overall, these are some of the best and closest seats for Ohio State football.
