Featuring

• Special Guest & Panelist: Two-time Heisman Trophy Winner & Ohio State Football Legend Archie Griffin
• An exclusive private presentation of the “Woody Hayes Secret Locker Room Tapes”.  These tapes were recorded surreptitiously for posterity sake by a student assistant coach of Woody’s during his raucous and motivational locker room speeches throughout the 1975 season.  Locked away and lovingly protected for years, several of these recordings have been made available to our club solely for this event.  The presentation will include a guest panel of former Woody friends and associates, which will be moderated by our own Bill Hosket.  These recordings are historical artifacts that should be of interest to the casual fan and will provide spine tingling chills to any Buckeye football fan of the era when they hear Woody’s voice booming through Ohio Stadium once again!
• Stadium guided tours including the exclusive recruiting room, press box, band room, and the field
• Performances by The Ohio State University Marching Band
• Catered premium meal & cash bar
• Unique items in our silent and live auctions
• Parking beside the Stadium on the West side very near the event entrance
