From the reviews

Really nice track and stadium. Super hot and little shade, but that's okay. It was a hot day for the state HS track meet. Loads of busses and parking was hot. Great place to host the state event!!

Wonderful stadium, wonderful track. OSU is always so kind to lend their facilities to Special Olympics Ohio for State Summer Games. Jessie Owens Stadium is one of the venues we use all weekend long. The staff that OSU provides is always friendly and welcoming.

★★★★★ — Brookelyn, Jul 2016

This is a 5 star facility dedicate to track-and-field. If you are interested in track-and-field this is the place where you want to compete or come as a spectator it has handicap accessibility.
