GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- Grambling Football has a great history in Kansas City. Legends such as Ernie Ladd, Buck Buchanan and Albert Lewis all played for the Kansas City Chiefs and provided some great memories. As a matter of fact just outside the Chiefs locker room is a large picture of Buck Buchanan during his playing days with the Chiefs. A replica of the same picture hangs in the hallway just outside the weight room in the Robinson Stadium Support Facility.
While there is great history between Grambling and the Chiefs, it has been more than 30 years since the Tigers have played a college football game in Kansas City.
The Tiger Football team will make a visit to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City Missouri, on Saturday, September 14th at 4 p.m. to face the Lincoln University Blue Tigers in The Missouri Classic. The week will begin with a pep rally on Sunday, September 8th at historic 18th and Vines.
