WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - There were more than a few eyebrows raised when WSSU decided to take the offer and run to Cleveland to play in Saturday’s Cleveland Classic against Morehouse.
With a guarantee of $25,000 plus all expenses paid it was a no-brainer for Bill Hayes, the athletics director, to take the Rams show on the road.
The Rams were slated to have a home game on Saturday but it was too difficult to find a quality opponent that also had an open date so going to Cleveland was the best option.
The Rams will return home next week to open CIAA play against Virginia Union for a 6 p.m. game at Bowman Gray Stadium.
WSSU officials are already marketing the game as “Community Day” to attract large groups to the game. The school is offering cut-rate group tickets if they are purchased before Wednesday. The deals are very reasonable.
For groups of 20 or more tickets are $3 for children ages 6 to 17 and children under 5 get in free. For adults ages 18 and up tickets are $8 each.
