There is something special about enjoying a gridiron battle under the lights. And on Sept. 6 Tuskegee University fans will be able to see all of the action as the bright lights beam onto the field at Cleve Abbott Stadium.
But there are a few things to know before the fun begins. If you don’t have your tickets yet, you can buy them here until 11:59 p.m. Friday night before each game. This season, no tickets will be sold on game day.
Stadium Entry
