The Second Annual Ford MEAC-SWAC Challenge
events will showcase several national recording
artists, including Cherish, Leela James and
Young Dro. The trio of talent will each perform
as part of the 2006 Ford MEAC-SWAC Challenge,
an annual HBCU football game to be held Saturday,
Sept. 2 at Birmingham’s historic Legion
Field. The game will feature MEAC Champion
Hampton against SWAC Champion Grambling State.
 James
will perform the national anthem prior to kick
off, while Young Dro (with the Hampton
University marching band) and Cherish
will perform at halftime and at the post-game
tailgate party located at the West End Parking
Lot at Legion Field.
Each year, the ESPN Regional Television
(ERT) owned-and-operated event, pits a MEAC
team against a SWAC member at a neutral site
located within the footprint of one of the
conferences. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster
outlets. To charge tickets by phone,
