March Sports Events in Columbus, Ohio

The NHL Stadium Series is Here and March Madness is Back

The NHL Stadium Series comes to Columbus on March 1 as the Blue Jackets take on the Red Wings in the first-ever hockey game at Ohio Stadium. The Jackets head on the road after that but end the month with five home games in two weeks. The Crew play at home twice and the Fury host three games. This is last month without baseball at Huntington Park as the Clippers kick off their home season April 1.

On March 15, the Blue Jackets are hosting a women's networking event. The program starts at 2:30 p.m. and wrap-up before puck drop vs. the New York Rangers at 7 p.m. The event features a panel with local women leaders, an arena tour and a networking happy hour.
