Bill Simonson, co-host of ESPN Radio's "The Huge Show," will broadcast his show
from North Central College
on Oct. 13 before the Naperville Central-Naperville North football game.
Simonson will also provide play-by-play of the game for the station. The game can also be
heard as "The DuPage
Valley Conference Game of the Week" on WONC-FM/89.1 and will also be broadcast on
WKKD-FM/95.9.
AT&T Cable will also broadcast the game on tape delay as its "Game of the
Week."
The game is expected to exceed the capacity of North Central College's 5,500-seat Cardinal
Stadium.
Both schools will provide a shuttle bus service from their auditoriums to Cardinal Stadium
beginning at 4:30 p.m.
This is the first year that the Crosstown Classic will be played outside of the high
school stadiums.
Cardinal Stadium has previously hosted the 2000 NCAA Division III track and field
championships, the East vs.
West Suburban All-Star High School Football Game, and a U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal soccer
match between
the Chicago Fire and the Dallas Burn.
Tickets are $4 for adults and $2 for students. The ticket stub can then be presented for a
half-price admission
to North Central College's Homecoming football game against Millikin University on
Saturday, Oct. 14, at 1 p.m.
