Norfolk State renews Labor Day Classic

HEAD COACH PETE ADRIAN
NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY SPARTANS

NORFOLK, Virginia -- Labor Day weekend football against former CIAA rivals is returning to Norfolk State.

The Spartans will play host to Elizabeth City State on Sept. 3, 2016, and Virginia State on Sept. 2, 2017, and Sept. 1, 2018, in the Labor Day Classic, the school announced Wednesday.

NSU was unable to play Division II competition on Labor Day weekend the past two seasons because of NCAA bylaws that governed the first permissible start date for D-II programs.

"I am extremely happy to be able to finalize arrangements to return the Labor Day Classic to Dick Price Stadium," NSU athletic director Marty Miller said in a statement.

"This is a winner for all of our programs, student-athletes and fans."
