Spirit Rider
The original Spirit Rider statue sits outside of the arena on the northeast side. The spirit rider wears a cowboy hat, rides a horse known as bullet, and carries an OSU flag.
The spirit rider can also be found inside the arena in the southwest corner. This spirit kneels with his hat off, in front of a memorial for the ten men who died in a 2001 plane crash.
