Overview
- Prairie View A&M will face Alabama A&M under the lights at Wrigley Field following an afternoon Cubs game.
- The showcase is modeled on longtime HBCU football classics, with marching bands, fan programming, and planned youth clinics around the city.
- Mayor Brandon Johnson praised the game as a milestone for Chicago’s baseball future, and Cubs executive chairman Tom Ricketts called it a historic event.
