» BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS: Games staying at UD Arena through 2024
Last year, the Division I state championship game took place at Fortress Obetz on the south side of Columbus, and the other six finals were played in Massillon because of Franklin County’s stay-at-home order.
The championship games were played in Massillon and Canton from 1990-2013, moved to Ohio Stadium in Columbus for three years and then returned to Canton’s Tom Benson Stadium from 2017-2019. They were scheduled to be played there again in 2020, but the games were moved to a smaller venue because of the pandemic.
“The Hall of Fame prides itself in treating OHSAA football teams and their fans the same way we treat the NFL teams and their fans,” said Pro Football Hall of Fame CEO Steve Strawbridge in a press release. “We give them a first-class experience while they are here. We take the teams through the museum and promote the values of the game. We look forward to providing an exceptional experience for the players, coaches, families and fans attending the games in Canton — the pinnacle of football.”
