Louis Crews Classic to Include Exciting Lineup of Events

Alabama A&M Athletics has announced an exciting weekend of events planned for the annual Louis Crews Classic. Activities leading up to the first home game of the 2024 season Sept. 6-8 include a Coach's Breakfast, Classic Concert and other events. The Louis Crews Classic has become a staple for Bulldog fans as the annual game begins the home football slate. This year, AAMU will host Kentucky State on Saturday, September 7 at 6:00 p.m.
 
The game concludes a weekend-long celebration of the former AAMU head coach, who roamed the sidelines from 1959-1976 and amassed a remarkable 110-61-3 record during his time on The Hill. In 2010, Alabama A&M launched the event to honor the contributions made by Coach Louis Crews and his family to the institution.
