“While no final decision has been made regarding the 2020 football season,” the email read, “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.
“We understand not all fans will feel comfortable attending games for health and safety reasons, or may not be interested in attending due to reduced capacity guidelines. Therefore, we are allowing all season ticket holders to opt out of their 2020 football season tickets commitment without longevity or eligibility penalty, if they wish.”
Fans will also be required to wear masks/facial coverings and abide by physical-distancing measures. There will be limited concessions, no tailgating and no Skull Session before the games at St. John Arena.
Ohio State and the Big Ten Conference announced earlier this month they will not play non-conference games.
