Southern University will play Texas Southern University in the 2nd Annual Arlington Football Showdown on September 17 at Choctaw Stadium.

It will be the first Historical Black College and University (HBCU) football classic of the year in North Texas. The game is presented by Lone Star Sports Inc. in conjunction with REV Entertainment.

Tickets are available for purchase at TexasRangers.com/AFS.

First-year Southern coach Eric Dooley, who led Prairie View to the Southwestern Athletic Conference championship game last season, was hired to return one of the conference’s storied programs to prominence. Texas Southern led Clarence McKinney is ready to compete with the best teams in the SWAC’s Western Division as he enters his fourth season.

The game will be the highlight of a three-day cultural event that will showcase the best the City of Arlington has to offer for alums, sports enthusiasts, and supporters of HBCU football, while providing an economic boost to the city as fans from both schools descend upon Arlington to have a unique football and festival experience.
