The only thing I heard was the max is still 300 but tics that weren’t used by noon were released to non family...

It's a good call. We get to play a really rare postseason "double-header" in the same gymnasium on Saturday, so I'm excited for the kids.

Our boosters sent some that asked for tickets another code at about 2:00 to allow some more tickets to be bought on the OHSAA site .

I don’t think that has anything to do with Dewine.
Codes that were given to players, coaches, cheerleaders for family members had to be bought by noon today. Any codes not used by noon were released to others to use.

From what I’ve seen, looks like it would take effect Monday March 1st. He is supposed to be releasing the details then I think.

Somebody call OU! It’s not too late to have district games at The Convo!

Depends on the details of the Gov order.
Right now it's 15% capacity or a max of 300 fans regardless of the size of the venue.
If he makes it 25% capacity period that would be 3,250 in an arena that seats 13,000. But he could also put a max limit on it like there is now.
Makes no sense to say 15% but max it out at 300. A 3,000 seat facility would be 450 at 15% but are limited to 300 with the max stipulation.

I seriously doubt the money is there for the lease at OU even if the they wanted to.

Highly doubt OU would be prepared to host thousands of fans at the drop of a hat and be able to fulfill the governor's requirements. Love for games to be at the Convo, but hopefully we'll return to normal next year.
