"We are excited to once again be participating in the Missouri Classic," said Lincoln athletic director Betty Kemna. "Lincoln and Langston have a long rivalry and this should be another great game. This is a fantastic opportunity for our student-athletes and fans to experience a great football game in a historic NFL setting in Arrowhead Stadium. ALWE and the Kansas City Chiefs do a wonderful job of promoting and producing this game, and we would like to thank them both for inviting us back to Kansas City."
Lincoln won the inaugural Missouri Classic, beating NCAA Division I Grambling State, 47-34, in front of over 20,000 fans at Arrowhead Stadium. Lincoln's rivalry with this year's opponent, Langston, dates back to 1924, with this year's meeting being the 61st in the all-time series. Langston, an NAIA program, is coming off a 6-4 season. The Blue Tigers, meanwhile, will begin their first year in the Great Lakes Valley Conference this fall.
Both teams also have ties to the Super Bowl. Lincoln is coached by Mike Jones, famous for making "The Tackle" on Kevin Dyson at the one-yard line that clinched Super Bowl XXXIV for the St. Louis Rams. Langston, meanwhile, has a connection to the Kansas City Chiefs, who play in Arrowhead Stadium. Langston's athletic director is Mike Garrett, a former running back with the Chiefs who helped the team win Super Bowl IV.
"I'm thrilled that Kansas City is hosting the Missouri Classic again. This event is a huge win for this community any way you to look it," Kansas City Mayor Sly James said. "The Missouri Classic connects young people, particularly from our urban core, with the college experience and it has a positive impact on our local economy. I welcome the visitors the event brings to our City and look forward to an energetic, fun game."
