It’s more than a game. Yeah, yeah, sports fans say that all the time. But it’s true in the case of the Cleveland Classic.
At noon Saturday, the football game features Morehouse College against Winston-Salem State University at Cleveland Browns Stadium. Tickets start at $15 and are available through ticketmaster.com.
But the second year of the Classic also rolls out events that celebrate historically black colleges and universities — not to mention a weekend of parties at Fortress.
At 9 p.m. Friday, the Warehouse District club, 1360 West Ninth St., Cleveland, will throw a bash hosted by Browns safety T.J. Ward. DJ Steph Floss and Meel will spin. $20. (Ladies free until midnight.) Saturday, Fortress hosts two bashes. The first runs from 3 to 9 p.m., with DJ Dru and DJ Knyce spinning. (Free from 3 to 4 p.m.; $20 until 9.) Then there’s the Cleveland Classic after party, at 9 p.m. ($10; complimentary cocktails 9-11 p.m.)
Call 216-298-4448. For Cleveland Classic information, go to Clevelandsports.org.
