Ohio State Athletics and REVELxp Extend Partnership to Continue Elevating the Buckeye Game Day Experience

COLUMBUS (August 25, 2026) — Ohio State Sports Properties, Learfield's locally based team and multimedia rights holder for Ohio State Athletics, and REVEL^XP have agreed to an extension of their partnership, reaffirming a shared commitment to delivering premium tailgating and hospitality experiences for Buckeye fans.

Since partnering together, Ohio State Athletics and REVEL^XP have worked to simplify game day by providing fully managed tailgating experiences that allow fans to spend less time planning and more time enjoying the traditions that make Buckeye football Saturdays special. At the heart of the experience is REVEL^XP's premier tailgate location at Jesse Owens Plaza, one of the most sought-after gathering spots on game day and home to the Buckeyes' iconic Team Walk, giving fans a front-row view as the team arrives to Ohio Stadium.

“Buckeye Nation deserves an unmatched game day experience, and continuing our partnership with REVEL^XP ensures we deliver just that," said Ross Bjork, Senior Vice President and Wolfe Foundation-Eugene Smith Endowed Athletics Director. "From the energy at Jesse Owens Plaza as our team arrives for the Team Walk to the seamless, top-tier tailgating setups across campus, REVEL^XP shares our dedication to tradition, innovation, and excellence. We are thrilled to extend this relationship and look forward to enhancing how our fans gather and celebrate Buckeye football for years to come."

Through the partnership, fans have access to full-service tailgate packages featuring the essentials – tent, tables, and chairs – along with premium add-ons like catering, media packages, and more, all set up and ready before kickoff. Fans can also use REVEL^XP’s service that transports personal tailgating items to and from vehicles. In addition, REVEL^XP offers pregame events for large groups with customizable hospitality options. The renewed agreement reflects both organizations' continued investment in creating memorable game day moments while positioning the partnership for future opportunities that will further enhance the fan experience in the years ahead.

"Ohio State has one of the most iconic game day environments in college athletics, and we're proud to continue serving Buckeye fans alongside the athletics department," said Wes Day, CEO of REVEL^XP. "As our partnership continues to grow, we're excited to introduce new ways for fans to gather, celebrate, and create unforgettable memories on game day."

As part of the extension, REVEL^XP will continue investing in best-in-class technology and enhancements to its newly launched, customer-friendly website, making it easier than ever for fans to plan, customize, and book their game day experiences. These upgrades, paired with an ongoing dedication to exceptional customer service, ensure a streamlined and elevated experience from booking to kickoff.
