TUSKEGEE, Ala. – The Tuskegee University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced that the home-opener and Hall of Fame Game against Allen, scheduled for Saturday, September 24, will be moved to the Cramton Bowl.
Â
The matchup between the Golden Tigers and the Yellow Jackets will be moved due to recent weather causing delays to construction. Originally scheduled to be played inside Abbott Memorial Alumni Stadium, the game will instead move to Montgomery and the Cramton Bowl, the second game for Tuskegee in the venue this season.
Â
The game will also dually serve as the Tuskegee Athletics Hall of Fame Game, which entails a two-day celebration for 11 inductees into Tuskegee history. The TUAHOF Banquet will be held on Friday, September 23 at 6 p.m., followed by the game on Saturday afternoon.
Â
Season ticket holders and fans who have already purchased tickets will be allowed the same entry into the Cramton Bowl, while game time will remain at 1 p.m.
Â
Tuskegee announced phase one of comprehensive athletics facilities upgrades throughout the department in May of this year. The first round of changes includes upgrades to Cleve L. Abbott Memorial Alumni Stadium, the Daniel "Chappie" James Center, Pepsico Tennis Courts, along with the baseball and softball facilities.
Â
New field turf will be installed to Abbott Memorial, along with a new facility that includes locker rooms, meeting rooms, coaching offices, and sports medicine space amongst other amenities.
