1. The event(s), the game and “Battle of the Bands” featuring two member institutions of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (commonly and hereinafter referred to as “HBCU’s”), the “step-shows” featuring non-sport organizations of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (commonly and hereinafter referred to as the “NPHC”) - nine historically African American, international Greek lettered fraternities and sororities is always great sportainment product/service.
2. The tickets for admission into the stadium were $15, $25, $30 and $40. I’ve purchased the $40 ticket to be seated as comfortable (my long frame), close to the game (Section 113 Row 6 Seat 1 – near the 50-yard line). However, the way Soldier Field is designed it seemed like all the levels (100, 200, etc.) for seats would avail an acceptable view.
3. Soldier Field - the home of the illustrious Chicago Bears - was a great place for the Chicago Football Classic. This venue holds out the initial psychological impression, albeit subtle, that all games are played on such a major stage. Soldier Field is almost completely surrounded by the Marshall Field Museum of Natural History, which gives off the historical context in which the HBCU’s stem from. And last but nevertheless, the city of Chicago is absolutely an international attraction at in itself, much like Las Vegas, New York, Los Angeles and Miami.
4. The Football Classic was a good promotion for HBCU's.
