Information regarding state championship game tickets is posted at: https://www.ohsaa.org/news-media/articles/tickets-now-on-sale-for-ohsaa-football-state-championshipsABOUT NEUTRAL SITESNeutral sites receive a hosting stipend from the OHSAA and also keep revenue from concessions, parking, 50-50 raffles, and program sales. In addition, the OHSAA pays for the officials.Of note, a team’s regional seed, state rank, and overall record do not factor into the decisions on neutral site locations.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.Football Brackets and Playoff Information: https://www.ohsaa.org/Sports-Tournaments/Football/Football-2023/2023-OHSAA-Football-Playoffs-Coverage
