The official name of Ohio's home is Ohio Stadium. It's nicknamed "The Horseshoe" because it's original configuration was a horseshoe; a bowl opened at one end. During the many renovations over the years however, it has since been closed in. But design has allowed it to retain a horseshoe shape, and tradition is big in college football, so...

When the stadium was built (back in the twenties) and it was designed in the shape of a "U" (which people just started calling the "Horse Shoe"). Since then they have added additional seating (as a straight line across to fill in the U) but OSU fans are big in to their history, so the name "Horse Shoe" was not going away.
Some interesting facts about the stadium:
When it was built, people doubted they would ever fill the stadium (every game now sells out)
Originally there were no women's restrooms (because only the men attended back then)
They just added lights in the last 10 years. (The Buckeyes have only lost 1 home game at night and it was to Texas last year)
Go Bucks!

That's the last impression we want to leave the opposing team after we stomp a horseshoe in their A-s-s!!

A buckeye is a useless nut. At least a horseshoe is useful and is a symbol of good luck.

why would their stadium be a buckeye? A stadium in that shape wouldn't even be possible.

What the hell is a Buckeye, anyway? (yes, I know that they are the auburn tigers and their fight song is war eagle. but everyone knows what a tiger is, don't they)
