Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has given his blessing to a crowd variance for two home games for each of Ohio's two NFL teams. This would allow both the Bengals and Browns to admit 6,000 fans for each game instead of the COVID19-inspired limit of only 1,500.

For the Bengals, the home games include 10/4 and 10/25.

The Browns will allow fans in for games on 9/17 and 9/27.
