YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Football is returning to Youngstown State's Stambaugh Stadium for the first time in over a year, and with it, so will fans.
YSU announced that the Ohio Department of Health had given them the go-ahead to allow 3,600 fans into the stadium for games.
The Penguins open the season on the road in Fargo against number one ranked North Dakota State Sunday before playing their first home game on February 27.
Fans can watch the YSU versus North Dakota State game at 3:30 on WBCB.
YSU has four home games scheduled for the abbreviated spring season:
- Northern Iowa - February 27
- Southern Illinois - March 6
- South Dakota - March 20
- North Dakota - March 27
YSU students are eligible for a free game ticket, and tickets will be available starting Monday at the Stambaugh Stadium ticket office with a valid student ID.
