COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio High School Athletic Association has announced the pairings and host sites for the football regional championship games this Friday, November 22.
The first team listed in the pairings is the designated home team. A team’s regional seed, state rank and overall record do not factor into neutral site locations.
Later this week, the OHSAA will announce the bracket pairings for the state semifinals, which will take place on Friday, November 29. The state championship games will be hosted at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton December 5-7.
ABOUT NEUTRAL SITES
Neutral host sites receive a stipend from the OHSAA and also keep revenue from concessions, parking, 50-50 raffles and program sales. The OHSAA selects and pays for the officiating crews.
Without schools being willing to host games, the OHSAA would not be able to use neutral sites. Many factors go into determining locations for each game, and rarely can a site be found that is exactly halftime between the two schools. Once a potential site is determined, the school must be available and willing to host a game on the requested night.
TICKETS
Tickets for all playoff games will be available on Mondays at www.ohsaa.org/tickets. Details on state championship game tickets are posted at: https://www.ohsaa.org/news-media/articles/ohsaa-announces-football-state-championships-schedule-and-tickets
