Updated 2 games

 

[Auggie]

A game featuring two teams from NJ? Why not have a couple Ohio teams featured in another game????

 

[hdvhsmgr]

Exactly what I was thinking.

A game featuring two teams from NJ? Why not have a couple Ohio teams featured in another game????

That just seems odd.

 

[Massillon#82]

5 games and only ONE Ohio team ??? There will be 4,000 people there and 3,000 will be mck fans.
Hey it’s Labor Day weekend want to go watch 2 teams from CA and NY play each other... ?

Fox Sports? ?

 

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

That 20,000 seat stadium is much to large for this event.

The Black College Hall of Fame Classic is scheduled for Sunday, September 6th at Benson. Central State v. Howard.

No games or teams that even remotely interest me here

Tickets are going to be $25 and only good for one game.

St. Thomas Aquinas was the school of the 2 Bosa brothers for OSU.
They would probably be worth seeing.

Full slate of college games that weekend, including some neutral site games. I'm guessing they have plenty of programing that weekend.

ESPN The Ocho needs programming. The Corn Hole finals and ax throwing aren't on then

Way too much.

I plan on traveling to like Illinois for a game that day anwyays. The venue is smaller and they don't charge nearly as much to get in. I will officially be working and taking pictures at the event so that will be cool.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a better camera? I currently am using my flip phone that has a VGA camera with only a 1 time zoom. Referees get mad when I go onto the field to get the closeups so I am looking for an upgrade.

 

[hdvhsmgr]

Apparently Massillon is the host team for this, being played in Canton?

 

[RedRider1]

So let's put a dream slate of 5 games...all Ohio teams that don't typically play each other. Mix of small and big schools.

Kirtland vs Marion Local
Orrville vs Ironton
Hoban vs Trotwood-Madison
Mentor vs Elder
Canton McKinley vs Pick Central

Massillon is playing at Glenoak that weekend on Friday night. ??‍

Does MCK even have 3,000 fans ?

I am aware of that; I have seen them already on ESPN though. I'd be more interested in matchups that have more of a Regional Flavor (or even teams from states contiguous with Ohio), JMO that's all.

I'm surprised that more Ohio teams, etc. weren't on the slate. No reason for casual fans to see teams they've never heard of.

 

[CantonAnon]

I’m guessing at least two of the high school games are on Sunday. Long weekend and no NFL that weekend.

NFL Network aired the Black College Hall of Fame Classic last year. Not sure if they are involved this year.

 

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Other states can get five games in at the same location in one day. I am sure it could be done, but being its being played in Ohio, I doubt it will.
I have watched 6 of the high school teams play (2 in person) I would go, if I was going to be in state. You have a nice NFL like stadium, great talent on the field and overall not a bad location.

The Black College Hall of Fame Classic is scheduled for Sunday, September 6th at Benson. Central State v. Howard.

And the tickets start at 35 I believe. They are insane.

 

[y2h]

Tickets are going to be $25 and only good for one game.

As I said, they are insane.

 

[John Lee Pettimore]

The stadium is near empty when the home town team plays there and tickets are what $8?

 

[DaveDawg]

FYI
Canton McKinley is NOT a part of any weekend football showcase if the event even takes place per CCSD AD
Homewood-Floosmoor has always been a 1-year deal at Benson and is a stand-alone game.

Some updates above. Apparently these games are Week 1, and not Week 2 (Labor Day weekend).
