Fall Saturdays in Columbus belong to the Buckeyes, and Victory Lap sits right in the middle of it at 200 W. Lane Avenue, walking distance from The Shoe. If you are planning a group for an OSU home game, here is how to lock it down before the good dates disappear.

Book ahead of the schedule rush

Home game Saturdays are the busiest days of the season, and the marquee matchups go first. A standard event wants 2 to 4 weeks; game days and full buyouts want 4 to 6 weeks or more. The earlier you inquire, the more you can reserve: your section, your screens, and a food and drink package that fits the crowd.

Know the space

Know the space

Victory Lap Columbus holds up to 420 across the bar and a turf-side patio, with screens throughout and cornhole out on the turf. It is built for watch parties, tailgate-style pregames, and group hangs that run from kickoff to final whistle.

Eat next door

Uncle Frico's Pizza, from the team behind Sexton's, sits right next door with crispy-edge bar pizza, wings, fried mac and cheese bites, and fried ravioli. Ask about building a catering package into your event so nobody leaves the party to find food.

Pick your format

A reserved section keeps a group together inside the action; a larger buyout gives you the run of the patio for pregames and bigger crews. Format sets your minimum, your layout, and your timeline, so decide it first.

Lock it in

The Victory Lap Columbus page has a Book This Venue button straight to our events team. Send the game, the date, and your headcount, and we will come back with the right section or buyout and a package to match.
