The Woody Hayes Athletic Center is an indoor athletics training facility of The Ohio State University. Dedicated in November 1987 in memory of the late Woody Hayes, Ohio State's legendary football coach, and renovated in a significant expansion in 2005-2007, the facility is one of the best indoor facilities of its kind in college athletics. The facility contains an indoor field which is convert|400|ft|m long, convert|220|ft|m wide and convert|65|ft|m high and is covered by All-Pro Turf. The field is used by the football, baseball, softball, lacrosse and soccer teams, but the facility is largely for the benefit of the football program.

Heery International of Atlanta, Georgia, provided the architectural design, with emphasis on current technological, media, and innovative developments.

The facility has an convert|17000|sqft|m2|sing=on weight room with the very latest in free weights and Nautilus equipment and a training room that is available for Ohio State sport teams.
