Section 21D at Ohio Stadium

(2026 Review) - West Side Upper Deck: The D Deck is the Upper Deck seating on the west side of Ohio Stadium, located directly below the Press Box.  Fully Covered: These sections are completely covered and are among the first seats in the stadium to fall into shade.  Coveted Sideline Views: Sightlines look across the field from the Buckeyes side, offering sought-after sideline angles.  Watch for Pillars: Press Box support pillars run through these sections and can obstruct views from the back rows.  Bleacher Seating: These are the smallest upper-level sections, with just 11 rows of backless, bleacher-style seats.  Who Should Sit Here  The D Deck at Ohio Stadium is a smart pick for fans who want classic sideline views from the Buckeyes side of the field while staying out of the sun. Because the sections are fully covered and shade over early, they suit anyone prioritizing protection from the elements. Just be prepared for bleacher-style seating without backs and choose your row carefully if obstructions are a concern.  D Deck Seating Details  The D Deck makes up the Upper Deck seating on the west side of Ohio Stadium, positioned below the Press Box. These are the smallest upper-level sections in the stadium, spanning just 11 rows. All seats are bleacher-style without back support.  Views from the D Deck  Aside from the pillar obstructions, the D Deck delivers coveted sideline views from the Buckeyes side of the field. The main drawback is the set of pillars supporting the Press Box, which are located throughout these sections — fans in the back rows will have to contend with these obstructions, so seats closer to the front offer the cleanest sightlines.  Sun & Shade  If staying cool and out of direct sun is a priority, the D Deck is one of the best options in the building: the sections are completely covered and among the first seats to be shaded during a game.
