About Ohio Stadium
Ohio Stadium, on the Ohio State University campus in Columbus, Ohio, is an American football stadium. The Ohio State Buckeyes football team plays its home games there, and the university also holds its Spring Commencement ceremonies in the stadium each May. The House That Harley Built, The Shoe and The Horseshoe are all nicknames for it. By capacity, it is the largest stadium in the state of Ohio. In 1974, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
As early as 1913, Ohio Field could not hold the crowds at Buckeye home games, which led to faculty discussion of building a new facility. Architect Howard Dwight Smith conceived and designed the horseshoe-shaped stadium in 1918. E. H. Latham Company of Columbus built it in 1922, and at completion it was the world's largest poured-concrete structure. A slurry wall at the base keeps out water from the Olentangy River, since it sits on a flood plain. An upper deck that overhangs part of the lower deck produces the A, B and C decks, and double columns allow more space between supports.
On October 7, 1922, the first game there, against Ohio Wesleyan University, drew about 25,000 people, and the formal dedication against Michigan followed on October 21. A cinder track was added in 1923, and the track and field teams used the stadium until 2001. Major League Soccer's Columbus Crew played there from 1996 to 1998. A major renovation ran from 1998 to 2001 at a cost of $194 million; the track was removed and the field lowered, yet the south end stayed partly open to preserve the horseshoe layout.
How it prints
Make this print opens the generator on a 650 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
| Print size | Landmark height | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 15 mm | 1:4,063 |
| 200 mm | 19 mm | 1:3,250 |
| 256 mm | 24 mm | 1:2,539 |

- Rows of small arches
- A band of small arches circles the outer wall. Print friendly adapts these openings to the print scale; Full detail keeps them on a larger print, ideally with 0.12–0.16 mm layers.
- Fine seating tiers
- The curved seating decks and thin roof edges form many fine lines. A larger print size keeps these tiers distinct, and slower printing helps the thin edges.
- One piece with the ground
- Ohio Stadium is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Ohio Stadium takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About this model
Ohio Stadium is one of more than 2,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
Common questions
Is there an Ohio Stadium STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. Ohio Stadium grows with the print: about 15 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
Is it free?
Yes. Generation runs in your browser, with no account and nothing behind a paywall.
