OHSAA SOCCER STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS UPDATE

The OHSAA soccer state championships will take place in Columbus on Friday, November 10 (girls) and Saturday, November 11 (boys). The matches are currently scheduled to return to Lower.com Field, which has hosted the finals since 2021, however the championships will be moved to nearby Historic Crew Stadium if the Crew is playing in the MLS Playoffs. Historic Crew Stadium hosted the OHSAA soccer finals from 2000-2020.

“The Haslam Sports Group has been a terrific partner and we are very fortunate to have two great options in Columbus to host our soccer state championships,” said Ute. “We wish the Crew the best of luck the rest of the season and hope they make a deep playoff run.”

I always found it curious that most of the tournament games are played on field-turf, but the finals are played on grass.

A properly maintained grass field is always preferred. However, most schools cannot afford to do what's required (high quality grass, irrigation, drainage, cutting, etc). So, they invest in field-turf.
