With the 2021 football season nearly upon us, Ohio State announced a few changes to the game day experience on Tuesday afternoon, including new mask guidelines.
In accordance with Ohio State’s newest regulations that require masks to be worn indoors regardless of vaccination status, Ohio State will require masks in indoor or covered areas on game days, too.
Masks will be required in all interior public spaces, including the Huntington Club, elevators, first aid rooms, restrooms and press box as well as the pregame Skull Session. However, masks will not be required for outdoor public spaces, including the seating bowl, gates, concourses, or concession stands.
Ohio State also announced that it is going cashless this season for all purchases including program sales, concessions, ticket office transactions and merchandise. Payments can be made by credit or debit card, as well as Apple Pay/Google Pay, but cash will not be accepted.
Additionally, all ticketing and parking passes will be digital, with the tickets on the guests’ smartphones, allowing for contactless entry. Options for fans without smart phones will be coming in the future.
Ohio State will play its first home game of the season on Sept. 11 when the Buckeyes host Oregon.
