As promised. My friend runs the
GoPSUsports.com website. He says this is all you will need:
Stadium Guide (pdf).
Here is a
seating chart. Visitor sections are NK and NJ in the lower deck, and NK and NL in the upper deck.

NL upper view:
Parking looks like a hassle. I remember parking in a cow field well away from the stadium every time I've gone....and it was a different field each time. That's not a problem though because you can see the stadium from where ever you park....theres nothing but grass between you and it. There's a parking guide in that pdf.
Tailgating is pretty straight forward. He says you can just wander around looking for other
OSU fans or go downtown and get heckled by idiot stater fans. I don't think it is advised to wander into PSU tailgate territory...as they will likely be 5-0 and in full dip [censored] Penn State mode.
That website should also be updated a week before the game to get the Game Day Advisory, which will tell when things open and things like that.
