MONTGOMERY, Ala. | The Alabama State University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced that Homecoming will move away from the Turkey Day Classic in the fall, and will move to Saturday, October 10 when the Hornets take on Southern University.
"We are excited to be able to announce the change in the Homecoming date," Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Jennifer Lynne Williams said. "Our students, who are a big part of our game day atmosphere, will be able to experience homecoming like many students around the country. We have also surveyed our alumni and heard directly from many of them who have requested that the Homecoming game be separated from the Turkey Day Classic. By moving Homecoming to a different date, our fans will now have the opportunity to take part in three big home contests with the Labor Day Classic and the Turkey Day Classic."
University President, Dr. Quinton T. Ross, Jr., says the decision to play the Homecoming game in October was made after careful consideration of the potential impact of the change.
