A look at Grambling State's 2018 football schedule
GRAMBLING, Louisiana – When you have new artificial turf and a videoboard at your stadium, you utilize and flaunt it as much as possible.
For the second straight season, Grambling State will play four games at Eddie G. Robinson Memorial Stadium next year, as it released its 2018 football schedule Wednesday. It'll be the first time since 2012 the Tigers will host four homes games in back-to-back seasons.
Adding the fourth home contest was a top priority for GSU Athletic Director Paul Bryant in the scheduling process.
“It was important that we got that fourth game at home. Typically, Grambling has three home games, but now we have a field that we want people to see,” Bryant said Wednesday. “Bringing Bacone (College) in, we sent out some feelers, we had some other people interested. Bacone came to the table and said they were interested in coming in and playing our opening day at home. They’re a formidable opponent, so we’re excited to get them here on campus.”
