When it comes to football at HBCUs, the setting is just as important as the product on the field. The fans, the bands, the stadiums, and more create a unique environment for teams to play in. Here are some can’t miss game-day atmospheres in HBCU football. 6 can't-miss HBCU football game-day atmospheres A Jackson State home football game — Jackson, MS 60,000 plus. That's the capacity for a Jackson State home football game at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium. The Tigers play in the largest stadium for any HBCU not used for professional sports. Jackson State led the FCS in average attendance in 2018 and 2019. www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2021-08-20/6-cant-miss-hbcu-football-game-day-atmospheres |

Just critiquing the article. Especially, if the NCAA is telling people these are the can't miss HBCU games. They got some good ones on there, but they missed a big one. To your point bulldog, i'm not surprised looking at the source.

For instance Jackson State stadium hasn't been 60k capacity for several years since they revamped it.

At least Tuskegee, you gotta have a game day ticket to tailgate because its ALL ENCLOSED.
And NO Magic City Classic? That right there tells me whoever came up with this list knows NOTHING about hbcu football. |
