This could be our ultimate classic. The history is there, it’s one of the oldest classics. Now I think we should have band battles, step show, concerts, the whole 9 to hopefully generate more revenue for the schools to take. It was our classic. This is just a break from the usual home and home. Long-term we we be back on each campus except for 2027. I can see NCCU moving their home games but not ours. Hoping for 20k plus in Charlotte I’m aware it’s our classic but it can be THEE classic if we play our moves right

We don’t need a classic, playing NCCU on campus is better for the school, students and alums.

All those things are valid BT, but the Buzzards and Alcorn aren't a rivalry. They have no history or allure. We've seen how Alcorn travels, which isn't great. I think 25K is low.

Bro, I would love for 70,000 people to fill up Bank of America Stadium for this game.
I just can't think of a recent attendance model that supports even half of that.
Central has no preseason buzz and they don't have a fanbase to begin with. And a lot of our causal fans are still jaded by how last season ended.
Like I said, I hope Rattler is right though.

Definitely won't get 70k because they're not opening the upper bowl (at least that's what they said). I'm thinking 20k since the buzzards already know they're gonna get an arse whuppin'. That said, my wife (buzzard) is going with 4 or 5 of her social work friends (several not buzzards or HBCU alums). Oh and she's not sitting with me because she can't take (soft) the smoke!

What’s up at Night, Roots? Where is the Takeover?

Like I said, I hope Rattler is right though. that’s where a marketing skills come into play. Gotta find a way to excite people so they would want to experience that atmosphere. Bayou classic and Florida classic figured out that side of things.

Which side will the Bands play to ( at this neutral game). I still remember Central’s playing to THEIR side at Aggie Stadium.
We must come ready to Play. I remember the dust up during the warmups a few years back. And a Central Player got tossed before the first snap. Our discipline will be tested from the jump…

Idk who is their QB, but if he runs like that Young Man a few years back then we have got to really to hem him in…
Actually, I want to see our pass rush.

Our discipline will be tested from the jump… Neutral game but I believe there will be home and away designations for the teams. That said, I hope each band plays, mostly, to their own crowd. The reason I say "mostly" is I think it would be good for both to do a half-and-half thing...fan experience. I also believe both bands will be in the end zones as opposed to sidelines.

One issue the game has compared to the other major classics is that NCCU band is 💩!
The other classics feature two great bands not one!
The casual fan and band head won’t be enticed to attend.
