Walt
Disney World Florida Classic Approaching a Sellout
November 7, 2003
Orlando, Fla. – With game day just
over two weeks away, tickets to the 23rd Annual Walt Disney
World Florida Classic continue to sell at a brisk pace. The
game between Bethune-Cookman College and Florida A&M University
will kickoff at 4 p.m. on Saturday, November 22 at the Florida
Citrus Bowl Stadium.
Less than 7,000 seats
remain. This year’s game has seen a 25% increase in pre-game
sales over the same period last year.
The strong demand for tickets has forced the game’s
management group, Florida Citrus Sports, to request an additional
seating section be added to the north end zone of the Florida
Citrus Bowl Stadium. Without the temporary bleachers, the Florida
Citrus Bowl Stadium seats 65,438.
“Without question, I think we’re headed for another
sellout,” Florida Citrus Sports Executive Director Tom
Mickle said. “Obviously if fans are planning to attend
and enjoy the pageantry of the nation’s premiere black
college football game, I would suggest securing your tickets
as soon as possible.”
