GameDay at the Union
Due to the Thursday kick off, there will not be a GameDay at the Union. We encourage you to visit the Student Union for our shopping and dining needs. Please refer to the operating hours below for Thursday, Aug. 28.
GameDay at the Union (GDAU) returns as a fan favorite on OSU home game days for the 2025 football season. With the beautiful Student Union as our backdrop, GDAU will be held on the northeast corner of the building just off of Hester Street.
Gather with fellow orange-clad friends three hours before each home football game and enjoy a bounce house, free Pistol Pete temporary tattoos, tailgate games, a coloring station, photo opportunities and exclusive weekly giveaways.
