MONROE, LA ---In a press conference held January 28, 2011 in Monroe, Louisiana officials announced the two year agreement in which Grambling State and ULM would once again meet on the gridiron.
"Both games will be played at ULM’s Malone Stadium in 2011 and 2013. Our fans are excited to keep the rivalry going. We anticipate record numbers that will eclipse the 30,000 plus crowd that attended in 2007,” stated J Lin Dawson, Director of Athletics at Grambling State University.
“Playing sister institutions within the University of Louisiana System make sense. As athletic administrators, we must look for creative ways in which we can grow our revenue and contain cost. This is a good deal for both universities. As the visiting team, Grambling will make just over $300,000 for each game with very few expenses."
