The concession lines were ridiculous, waited for close to an hour just to buy 6 water bottles. They had several different food vendors set up but those wait times were just as bad. One ran out of drinks and it was only the second quarter of the game. The game it self was fine.
I love this team great defense and offense . Thank you for beleiving in my Nephew Devante MYtime Kincade.
We had wanted to see the Grambling band for many years. The tickets came with free admission to the Louisiana State Fair. $25, front row, 40 yd line.....Hard to beat!
Great to see wonderful passing, running, and tackling. Good fundamentals not a lot of "dumb" penalties. (I call the penalty dumb when the player doesn't display sportsmanship or common sense.) Got a chance to view a few on the field that will probably get a NFL opportunity. The powerhouse bands of both universities were spectacular. Musicality went to UAPB...the brass and percussion sections..wow! Showmanship goes to GSU as expected. "I thought u knew!"
Perfect spot. Right behind the Grambling bench. Got a great close up view of the GSU band during halftime!!! Will definatly try to get the same seats again.
If you love the HBCU experience or have never witnessed it before, then this game is definitely a must!!!
Had so much fun at the state fair eating all the good fried foods and Fantasia rocked it in the Chevy main stage! The game was great Grambling won which was exciting because they hadn't won a game in 3 years! It was a little hot with the sun shining down on me but the game was fabulous.
4 p.m. is in the heat of the day! What about a 10 a.m. game time? Otherwise loved the spirit, the game and THE BANDS! It would also be nice if the staff, security, police officers would have information with regard to what side the colleges have so that the visitors know where they would like to sit. Grambling and Prairie View both have gold/yellow in their colors. Some direction from the staffers would be nice.
Exciting game with additional band, dance and cheer leading entertainment during halftime and throughout the game. Live HBCU football games are the best!
I loved the game and the experience I had at the game. The bands we're great but my favorite band had to have been the grambling band they blew me away and it was my first time going to the game sooo I lovvvveddd everything about it.
Exciting match up between two football programs. Great game, entertaining half-time show, and awesome audience engagement. What keeps me from rating the State Fair Classic as a five-star event is the disappointing fact that the police interrupted the HBCU tradition of a 5th Quarter. As the bands traded playi g songs, security and police forced the spectators to exit the Cotton Bowl. It was disrespectful and disappointing.
It is unique that a football game goes on while the fair is going on. I will be back in 2014.
The game was ok you get to sit wherever you want and the game starts on time. Both teams suck pretty much but hey they half time show makes up for it along with the pre-game concert. Overall I dont know if it is quite worth the price but I did have fun!
The State Fair Classic was great! The bands of course were awesome but PV was superb!
The game itself was boring due to lack of competition. Since the stadium was open air the battle of the bands lost punch in terms of hearing the bands...however their showmanship was excellent. The program and announcements throughout the pre-game and pretty much all day, were lacking production value. I think we can do better.
I was mad that it rained and was windy/cold outside this year and then had the nerve to be all sunny and pretty the next day. I enjoyed the game. I wish that the food wasnt so expensive and I dont know why the ticket price went up from 25 to 35 dollards this year. The turkey legs were disgusting, not cooked all the way, i wasted my money and threw it away to go get a funnel cake.
I enjoyed the game but I had problems(with the scanning of my ticket ) at the gate. I was very upset about that because I was charged extra and still had problems.
The game was wonderful, going into overtime, 24 to 24. My team won with a field goal. The half time and post game entertainment was excellent too. To top it off, we had great weather and good seats. Plan to go again next year.
Tropical Storm Lee's pouring rains did not stop the game between Grambling & Alcorn from being terrific. Both teams (and fans) braved the bad weather and put on a great showdown. The score stayed close, the fans enthusiastic, and the teams played hard. In the end, Grambling was triumphant, winning 21 to 14. By the way, both bands delivered grand performances at half time.
The lines to get in the game were extremely long and moving extra slow. Lines for ticket call were long and moving slow and ticketholders behind the counter were holding conversations with each other and ignoring ticket purchasers. My ticket was GSU willcall line when I clearly purchased it under Grambling, so I had to stand in both LONG willcall lines and wait unnecessary time.
