Ohio Governor Announces Attendance Trial At Bengals & Browns Games, Masks Required

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine released guidance today that will allow up to 6,000 fans to attend two home games at Bengals and Browns games. The state is granting a "variance to the state sports order" that will allow fans to be spread out in a strategic way to satisfy the state.

"The variances allow no more than 1,500 spectators in each side of the stadium," DeWine said in a statement. "Fans must use the designated entrance for their ticket. In addition, all fans must wear a mask in accordance with state regulations."

The two games in Cleveland where fans will be allowed inside First Energy Stadium include: 

September 17: Bengals at Browns

September 27: Washington Football Team at Browns

The two games in Cincinnati are: 

October 4: Jacksonville at Bengals

October 25: Browns at Bengals

The state says this 6,000 fan limit is a two-game trial.
