Kentucky State University Board of Regent Chair Dr. Gerald Patton is a proud native of Chattanooga, Tennessee and thrilled that the Scenic City Football Classic will be hosted in his hometown.

In a statement released earlier this week, the 1969 Kentucky State graduate expressed his excitement for the inaugural contest.

“I am both delighted and proud that my hometown of Chattanooga, “the Scenic City,” is the designated site of the BCFCS September 11, 2022 Classic.  Hoping for a great game and exciting battle of the bands.  Let’s go Thorobreds!”

The Classic will take place at W. Max Finley Stadium. The Thorobreds will host Fort Valley State University at 3 p.m. Tickets are available at sceniccityclassic.com.
