Kickoff will take place on Saturday, September 8th at 7:00 p.m. in Atlanta, GA inside Lakewood Stadium
Charlotte, NC – The Department of Athletics and the Business Office at Johnson C. Smith University are currently selling tickets for the 2012 Inner City Football Classic held in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday, September 8th in the Lakewood Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. and all tickets are on sale for $20.00.
This contest is marked as the second game on the 2012 football schedule for the Golden Bulls. JCSU heads to Atlanta for a gridiron battle against Tuskegee University out of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC). This will be the first meeting between Johnson C. Smith and Tuskegee since their 2006 duel in the Pioneer Bowl. JCSU has since redeemed their loss with a 2011 Pioneer Bowl victory over fellow SIAC institution Miles College.
This is the inaugural Inner City Classic played inside the newly refurbished Lakewood Stadium. Activities begin on Friday, September 7th with a prayer dinner. A pre-game parade featuring as many as 12 bands will be held Saturday morning. Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit each institution's athletic program. Donations will also be made to the HOPE scholarship fund and the United Negro College Fund.
To purchase tickets, please contact the JCSU Business Office at (704) 378-1091. Cash and all major credit cards will be the acceptable forms of payment.
