Most "traditional" tailgating is done by alums, and this is very wide-spread from the Stadium, to West Campus and up through Battelle.
Lane Avenue is closed off a couple of hours prior to the game, and it becomes one big tail gate (somewhat of a street-fair). If you are over 21, you can get into the "Heineygate". Thousands attend The Skull Session (a pep rally with the team and TBDBITL) two-hours before game time). After that, everyone pours out into the area between St. John Arena and Ohio Stadium.
Students also attend "pre-games" which could be at a fraternity house, apartments, in a bar, or at a tent near the stadium sponsored by an organization. Keep in mind, many of the home games have a noon start time. During those games, students roll out of bed to attend the game, then hit High Street afterward.
