Tailgaters At Aggie-Eagle Classic Must Buy Ticket

Aug 4, 2004

RALEIGH, N.C. — If you want to tailgate at this year's

Aggie-Eagle Classic

, you have to buy a game ticket.

Last year, it was estimated more than 10,000 people came just to party in the parking lot, but they did not buy a ticket to the football game.

Organizers said the point of the game is to get scholarship money to the schools, so no one will be allowed on the grounds without a ticket.

The game between North Carolina Central University and N.C A&T University is Sept. 5. Tickets go for $20 to $40.
