It is official the PV vs. TSU football game has been moved to Delmar Stadium. The Average attendance for the Labor Day Classic is 25,000. Delmar's capacity is 12,000. This has to be the dumbest decision in the history of stupidity. This game will be 2009 SWAC CHAMPS VS. the 2010 SWAC CHAMPS..... Come on athletics we got to do better!!!!!!

Honestly bruh, that might be the reason for the move. Since the game only attracts 25,000 fans per year compared to a stadium that seats 71,500 fans, the venue is losing money. Approximately 35% of the seats are being utilized but the sponsors have to pay for 71,500. It is unfortunate that the new location only accommodates 12,000 fans. Hopefully, the sponsors will see the need for a different location pending attendance this year.
Since 2003 we have played in Reliant outside of the regular NFL game and the Houston Bowl game the Labor Day CLassic is one of the football games at Reliant. The move is bad for both schools !!!!
