Press Release:
Traffic Alert: Parking information for President Obama’s visit on May 5
President Barack Obama will visit The Ohio State University campus on Saturday (5/5) where he will host a kick-off rally for his presidential campaign at the Jerome Schottenstein Center (Value City Arena). The event is free and open to the public. Tickets are not required, but RSVP’s are requested: https://my.barackobama.com/page/s/ohio-rally .
Doors to the event will open approximately at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. All attendees will go through airport-like security and should bring as few personal items as possible. No sharp objects, umbrellas, large bags, liquids, bottles, large electronics or signs will be allowed in the venue. Cameras and cell phones are permitted.
Free parking is available at the Schottenstein Center and also at other campus locations. Much of the parking is within reasonable walking distance from the venue, and due to limited space and traffic concerns, carpooling and walking, if possible, is strongly encouraged. Please see the May 5th event parking map for additional information.
A limited number of disability spaces will be available at the Schottenstein Center. In addition, disability and general public parking is available at the Buckeye lot. A free shuttle will be provided between the Buckeye parking lot (located off of Ackerman Road and SR 315) and the Jerome Schottenstein Center. This shuttle will be available from 6 a.m. until one hour after President Obama’s visit.
On Saturday, tune to 1650-AM, the university’s low-power radio station, for parking information for the event, as well as other large events on campus.

The "more billionaire donors than any other candidate" thing is interesting to me. Is it because there are simply more billionaires now than at any other time in our history, combined with the fact that Obama probably has more donors from every stratum than any other candidate? Hey, I enjoy empty propaganda as much as the next guy, but that particular piece leaves me particularly curious over its lack of context.

Republican billionaires are funneling their money through SuperPACs rather than to the Romney camp? Good question though.

Point taken about the billionaire donors but I don't see anything else that stretches the truth.

Just to give you an idea of the madness on campus there is:
1) Obama
2) High school science fair statewide finals
3) Home baseball game (right next to the Schott where Obama will be)
That's just to name a few, there are some other minor activities as well like the Argentine Tango Dance Festival.
So traffic is going to be a gigantic snarl pretty much all day.

Also, a leg of the Capital City Half Marathon runs down High Street from Lane into Downtown, so there will be early morning street closures for that too...

i didnt know buses could go faster than everybody else.
I didn't say anything about speed.
But it's quite a bit easier to let someone else do the driving. Read a book while someone else deals with the cluster on the road. And skip the hassle of finding a parking spot too.
