Ohio Stadium Reducing Capacity to “No More Than 20 Percent” for 2020 Season

Ohio Stadium will have a reduced capacity of “no more than 20 percent” for the 2020 football season, Ohio State informed season-ticket holders in an email on Tuesday.

Per Tuesday's announcement, fans who attend football games at Ohio Stadium this season – assuming games are played – will be required to wear masks, physical distancing will be enforced, concessions will be limited, tailgating will be banned and there will be no skull sessions at St. John Arena.

“While no final decision has been made regarding the 2020 football season, the Department of Athletics has been working diligently with university leaders, public health experts and government officials to create game day plans that protect the health, safety and well-being of our student-athletes, staff, faculty and fans,” the email reads.
