Blue Jackets To Move Iconic Cannon To Ohio Stadium Today

One of the main questions that has been asked all week as we get closer and closer to the first ever outdoor game for the Columbus Blue Jackets is, "Will the world-famous Columbus Blue Jackets cannon be in attendance at Ohio Stadium?" Before anyone even knew the answer, it was always going to be "Yes!"

Did anyone actually think the CBJ would play at the Shoe and not bring their cannon?

The Blue Jackets have announced that the iconic replica 1857 Napoleon-style cannon will depart Nationwide Arena today at noon, and fans will be able to view it as it travels to Ohio Stadium.

Per a CBJ press release, "The cannon will begin its journey at Nationwide Arena and travel down Olentangy River Road to Ohio Stadium on a flatbed truck. Fans will be able to view the cannon along the route as it makes its way to the stadium."

You can view the full route here.

If you want to see it, you had better hurry!
