Ohio State's Gene Smith 'Confident' Plan Exists Where 20-30k Fans Attend Games

There may be fans in Ohio Stadium this fall after all, albeit not the 100,000-plus who typically pack the stands on football Saturdays.

According to Kyle Rowland of the Toledo Blade, Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said he is "confident" in the ability to develop a plan that would allow 20,000 to 30,000 fans in the stadium for football games despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Rowland noted Smith also said scheduling needs to be done by early July if the 2020 season is going to take place.
