MEAC/SWAC Challenge will still be played but only at 50% capacity
HBCU football has taken a huge hit this year already, with college like Southern, Jackson State and Tennessee State losing games, and with Morehouse canceling their season, but the MEAC/SWAC Challenge will continue.
According to BizJournals.com, The game that kicks off the HBCU football season will be played at 50% capacity at Georgia State Stadium on Sept. 6 to mitigate COVID-19.
Grambling State will face off against South Carolina State in Georgia State Stadium. The maximum capacity is 25,000, so cut that in half. The MEAC/SWAC Challenge game is the first game of the year for HBCU colleges. This is a good news, but it will be hard to find a ticket. Especially, when last year’s MEAC/SWAC Challenge sold out.
