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.
