COLUMBUS (AP) – The Ohio high school football state championship games will remain at Ohio Stadium through at least 2016.
The Ohio High School Athletic Association announced Tuesday that a year had been added to the contract because of ongoing renovations at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton. Formerly known as Fawcett Stadium, the venue hosted the championship games from 1990 to 2013. The games have been played in Columbus the past two seasons.
The association says details are being discussed about which venues will host the state championship games beyond 2016.
This year’s games in Ohio Stadium will be played Dec. 3 – 5.
There will be a public all-session ticket sale Aug. 17 for the seven state championship games. All-session tickets at the club level, which includes access to the indoor club area before and between all seven games, is $105. A reserved ticket is $84.
Single session tickets will be available for purchase in November.
