Delirious because the top hbcu program and now a top ten program cannot average 15k fans, what else is there to do in Greensboro? Do u watch FCS football? Majority of the top teams have worst attendance. We are 10th in the country. Its 2 SWAC and 1 MEAC team ahead of us. That should tell u attendance and records arent exactly the factors When first built, Aggie Stadium capacity was listed as 17,500. In later years, after a gift from the Bryan Foundation to build a wall to enclose the open end of the stadium, the university used revenue from athletics to put in seats in that space. The stadium was to have a seating capacity of 23,500, but in ensuing years that was changed to 21,500 in 1995. Those big oaks on the hill by Sullivan St. were placed there by Dr. Albert Smith. The athletic facility where the stadium sits has slowly but steadily grown over the years, and it continues to change. However, change requires money. |

Just wanted to surf over here to see if the news had hit your board. Any word if this will be a home and home?I'm really stoked this game is back on the schedule, especially since both schools are in the national spotlight again. .....Has a chance to be a big time game right of the bat in '19. This is the final game of a previous home and home series , which was put off because we accepted a money game in it's place . Agree that it will a big time game right off the bat , just like this year's first game . Elon coach quit and now is the Head man at James Madison. The DC is now the HC there |

out of those. id like to see Tenn State. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the last time we played them and its a FCS opponent. ECU, been there done that. And VaTech we already have a ACC team on the schedule this year. Only reason I can see us choosing the latter is because of a check.

I'm with you about Tennessee State but money for this game will not match ECU or VaTech. I doubt ECU will agree to play us in Greensboro and I don't see us going down there two years in a row...unless they want revenge so bad they up the payment! |

Take the ECU and VaTech games . Hale if ECU/ VaTech is paying A&T to come there, ECU/VaTech is not going to pay us to play in Greensboro . I don't think it works that way  |

ECU/ Tenn State are my top choices with a lean towards Tenn state. I have this thing about beating schools that have an historical lead over us, close the gap!

Lol! Glad I am not the only one... low key Hampton is on that list because they rotated off when we were firing on all cyclinders but played us during the dark ages. Since 1990 the overall series with FAMU has been pretty even. SCSU has seemingly always had our number. But I digress. |

I do, too!! We've closed the gap on both FAMU and SC State in recent seasons. I'd really love to see us sign to play the Big Blue Tigers in a 4-game series.
