JACKSON, Miss. —
An influx of fans is expected in the Capital City this week as Jackson State University and Alcorn State University rivalry week kicks off.
Fans were seen Monday at Veteran's Memorial Stadium securing their tickets ahead of Saturday's game.
“Big, big game of course every year," said Steve Denham of Jackson. "We look forward to Jackson State and Alcorn each year we play this game. I have family coming from out of town and I’m here to buy tickets for them, of course.”
Fans said the massive crowds seen at JSU Homecoming were a lesson learned for this coming game.
“I didn’t get into the game until after halftime," one JSU fan said.
This weekend's rivalry game is expected to be even bigger. Homewood Suites in Fondren reported Monday that it is completely sold out of rooms for the weekend.
