Fans still want to see the Buckeyes play.
Despite both the health and economic concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertainty whether there would even be a football season, Ohio State saw more than 44,000 season ticket renewals this year, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
Amid the coronavirus crisis, the university extended the deadline for season-ticket holders to renew their tickets twice, with the final deadline landing on May 29. By that deadline, 44,320 decided to renew their tickets – an 87 percent renewal rate.
Despite a large number of renewals given the circumstances, there remains uncertainty as to how many fans will be permitted to attend Ohio State football games this fall – if at all.
