GRAMBLING, Louisiana  --  For years Tiger fans have enjoyed all of the festivities associated with the Southwest Airlines State Fair Classic in Dallas.  From the pre-game concerts and the halftime show to the many activities at the fair, there is something for everybody.

This year there will be a change for fans attending the game as kick off for the annual event will take place October 5th at 4:30 p.m. from the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas.

The earlier start time is to allow fans to enjoy the festivities of the fair and take in many activities that the weekend has to offer.

There will be no shortage of entertainment surrounding the big game.  Spectators will be electrified with a power packed halftime show featuring both the Prairie View and the Grambling "World Famed" Tiger Marching Band.  The headliner for this year's pre-game concert will be Kelly Rowland, which will begin at 2 p.m. on the Chevy Stage.

Tickets are on sale at the Grambling State University Ticket Office by calling 318-274-2625.
