Nice matchup. This should revitalize the Circle City Classic after 4 years of Central State and Kentucky State.

I hope it draws well w/ the locals. I'm not so sure both of those fan-bases travel well.

The locals show pretty well. It has been the locals which have carried attendance the last 4 years with the D2 matchup. Howard has a nice "Big Game" fan base. The Bison fans show up for big Classics not sure about BCU though.

I hope the other bison faithful are more faithful than I am. I attend a (H) game once every 2 or so years on Ga Ave. Naturally, my focus is on helping right the historical wrongs of the undergrad PV. I did the CCC while attending State@gradSch and living in the CMH. I think that was a JSU/FAMU get together and it was paaaaaaaaaaacked > 57K+, if memory serves correct. Truly enjoyed the game, atmosphere, and entire w/e.

The Circle City Classic will always be packed with a decent matchup because it occurs during Black Expo Weekend in Indy. Even with Central State and Kentucky State the game drew 35,000+ for those 4 years.

Local media there balked due to those 35K #s vs those historical 55- ~62/63K+ #s.
Sidebar: how is football recruiting going for AlaSU?

Recruiting is going well but then again we've always signed good classes. It's getting the production on the field that has given us issues.
