Value City Arena at The Jerome Schottenstein Center (commonly Value City Arena, Jerome Schottenstein Center, Schottenstein Center or The Schott) is a multi-purpose arena, located on the campus of Ohio State University, in Columbus, Ohio, USA.
The arena opened in 1998 and is currently the largest in the Big Ten Conference.[1]
It is home to Ohio State Buckeyes basketball and men's ice hockey teams. Previously, the basketball teams played at St. John Arena, while the ice hockey team played at the OSU Ice Arena. The arena is named for Jerome Schottenstein, of Columbus, late founder of Schottenstein Stores Corp. and lead benefactor of the project.
Ohio State ranked 18th in the nation in average attendance (15,390) for the 2005–06 season.
The music video for Carrie Underwood's 2010 hit "Undo It" was filmed at the arena.

[edit] Relationship to Nationwide Arena
Prior to July 1, 2010, one of Value City Arena's major event competitors was the downtown Nationwide Arena, which opened in 2000 and is home to the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets. In May 2010, the Blue Jackets and OSU signed a one-year agreement to turn over day to day operations and non-athletic event booking of Nationwide Arena to OSU, effective July 1, 2010. [2] This agreement puts both arenas under the same management and makes the facilies sister venues.
