I don’t agree with the 10 pm or the Franklin county stay at home order but at least they aren’t cancelled. He could have very easily just cancelled them. At least the stay at home is Franklin county health officials and not dewine orders or it would be for all counties. They are doing the best they can do under the circumstances

I’d like to see them get played but I have no favorites in the games. If there’s gonna be too much whining and crying just cancel them

That would be fair to the young men who have sacrificed so much and worked so hard to cancel them because some idiot doesn't want to hear any whining! If you don't like whining don't listen moron.

I’m not the one whining about it. I say go play at Massillon and shut up. People can’t be happy either way. They change sites, they whine. They cancel, they whine. I guarantee you that you can ask every kid and not one wouldn’t be fine with the change as long as they get to play you moron

I think people should be thrilled that the games got moved to where they should have been held in the first place! Obetz sucks for football games, especially state championships. If you can’t get Ohio Stadium or the Hall of Fame Stadium, PBTS is the next best location.

Theres probably 20 stadiums on the I75 corridor that might argue that

I would think the kids don’t care as long as they get played. I as a fan want them to be played and kids get the opportunity versus canceling them all together. I would like to think the fans of each schools would be the same but I suppose not

Moving the game north quite a bit and it means it will be colder. ALways seems so much colder up there.
Colder, rain, a drive from the Ohia-Indiana border AND going up against experience and DEFENDING STATE runners up..........the hits keep coming for the Buzzards.
I guess since the game is scheduled they have to at least show up and give it a try. No use giving up now even if all the odds are against them. Can the school even afford to bus them all the way there or should we set up a gofundme page?

I'm a fan of PBTS in particular, although I agree. Literally any stadium down I-75 would have been better than Obetz. Sidney Memorial Stadium would have been a great site as well - that place is incredible

How can you not when you were told by county officials you can’t play there? Did you even educate yourself on why it was moved?

I also was told that Piqua was going to host early on. Not sure why that was shut down.

I’ll help you out. Columbus department of health and Franklin county department of health issues a 6 pm stay at home mandate for the next 28 days starting at 6 pm tomorrow evening. OHSAA officials were told by both departments that they couldn’t host the games there. So how do you not move it?
I think the games being played at Massillon is great.... you got the boys , who will love the stadium ( something they will remember), and you have 750 fans from CW and Bremen won't have any issues with the travel of 3 hours or so..... i would love to be heading up there!!!

Always right, unless I'm wrong
Could be, but would they be willing & able to host? Massillon has a wait list to get on the stadium volunteer work staff. I’m sure there’s others that could host but with the quick turnaround options were probably limited.
Also, regardless of where the games are played at least these guys are going to be in an actual stadium vs the tiltawhirl & tractorpull facility that was gonna host. I know Columbus is MUCH more central but that place... yikes

They can play the games where ever they want to but I have been to Massillon several times, not impressed with PBTS at all. IMO Wapak ( esp. after the renovations ), Sidney ( best H.S. stadium I have ever been to ), Piqua are all 10 times better than Massillon. Does the sun even shine in NEO ? Seems like I am traveling to Mordor when I go to that part of the State.

I was in uniform for 2 state games at Massilon. That stadium is not good. And the location doesn't deserve the finals. Ever. Piqua would've done a great job.
you are right with the gray skys.... but i did the rotation from Canton to Massillon at least 12 years.... loved watching games there.... and the gray skys, made it feel like old time football....
probably saw you played...... what year did Coldwater play Orrville? Zwick at QB as a Freshman? and they had a big 6' 8" kid at WR , that I think went to Indiana?
