Ohio State’s lacrosse teams have a stadium of their own for the first time ever, and they’re already seeing the benefits as they prepare to begin their 2023 seasons.

Until this year, Ohio State’s men’s and women’s lacrosse programs have shared facilities with the football team, practicing at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center and playing their games inside Ohio Stadium. That presented challenges for the lacrosse teams, as there are numerous other Ohio State sports teams who also practice at the WHAC while they played home games on a field designed for football in a mostly empty Shoe.

“We have run into a couple things with the Woody. A lot of teams share it, so it's hard to get our like wall ball and shooting and extra reps. So this will be really incredible for us to be able to come in any time,” women’s lacrosse defender Ava Keethler said this week. “We get to basically use the stadium at our leisure and just not even in our practice block, which is awesome. I really think it will just help us to get to that like elite level and culture.

“I think our team in general really does a great job of working in the shadows almost and trying to get as much extra work as they can. But with the new facility, we have way more availability to do so, which is awesome. And it's really exciting to see guys coming in before, staying in late at night and after practice to get in extra work,” Snyder said Thursday.

The Buckeyes believe the lacrosse-specific layout will give them a greater home-field advantage on game days than they’ve ever had before.
