Description: SAINT JOHN ARENA & JEROME SCHOTTENSTEIN CENTEROhio State University has been home to two iconic basketball arenas over the years: St. John Arena and the Schottenstein Center, both playing vital roles in the history of Buckeyes basketball.St. John Arena, opened in 1956, served as the primary home of the Ohio State Buckeyes men's and women’s basketball teams until 1998. Named after former Ohio State basketball coach and athletic director Lynn St. John, the arena had a seating capacity of around 13,276 and was a hotbed for Big Ten basketball for more than four decades. The arena witnessed some of the most historic moments in Buckeyes basketball, including the era of the legendary Jerry Lucas, who led Ohio State to a national championship in 1960 alongside future Hall of Famer John Havlicek. St. John Arena also hosted the early games of Buckeye greats like Clark Kellogg and Jim Jackson, both of whom went on to have stellar NBA careers. Known for its close-knit atmosphere, the arena remains beloved by Ohio State fans and still hosts occasional sporting events, including wrestling and gymnastics.In 1998, the Schottenstein Center, officially named the Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center, became the new home for Ohio State basketball. With a seating capacity of around 18,800 for basketball games, the Schottenstein Center is a modern, multipurpose facility that accommodates not only basketball but also concerts and other events. The arena provides a state-of-the-art experience, with improved amenities for fans and players alike. Since its opening, it has hosted many memorable games, including deep NCAA Tournament runs by the Buckeyes under head coach Thad Matta, and continues to serve as a key venue in the Big Ten. Notable players who have played at the Schottenstein Center include Greg Oden, Mike Conley, and Evan Turner, all of whom helped elevate Ohio State basketball to national prominence during their tenures.Both St. John Arena and the Schottenstein Center have been integral to the rich basketball tradition at Ohio State, and they remain landmarks in the university's athletic history.
