Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium is a 10,000-capacity stadium located in Columbus, Ohio, United States.

It is named after former OSU athlete, Jesse Owens, with that honor transferred from the cinder track of Ohio Stadium, which then had football seating expanded over its footprint after the opening of this venue.
