THG Agency, a Houston-based and well-respected sports event consulting and management
company in partnership with D. G. Sports and Entertainment, are pleased to announce the 2008
Houston Labor Day Classic Elite Weekend Sports Packages. The packages, which are
designed around the annual Labor Day Classic Football weekend featuring Texas Southern and
Prairie A&M Universities, offers fans an opportunity to experience a luxurious but affordable
weekend at one of the biggest sporting events of the year in the city of Houston, Texas.
“It’s important to our institutions that we grow this Black College Football Classic,” said THG
President & CEO J. Kenyatta Cavil. “Our customers that support both institutions have
suggested to us that they want The Labor Day Classic to mirror some of the other high-profile
classics around the country. As a result, we decided to provide hospitality and events in
conjunction with the game to further enhance and support ‘The Battle of the Bands’ and “The
Game on the Field’.”
This year’s classic marks the 24th year Prairie View and Texas Southern square off on the
gridiron on Labor Day weekend. Held at Reliant Stadium beginning at 7 p.m. on Aug. 30, this
year’s edition of the classic is a must-see affair as rivalries are at an all-time high due to the
arrival of a new coach in alumnus Johnnie Cole and a former local high school star quarterback
in Bobby Reid at Texas Southern. In addition, Texas Southern also boasts several former key
Prairie View A&M staff members, including newly appointed Athletics Director Charles
McClelland, who’re beginning their first year at their new home in Houston. On the opposite
sideline, Prairie View A&M enters the 63rd meeting between both schools with high expectations
as the Panthers are coming off their best season since 1976 under fifth-year head coach Henry
Frazier III.
“We spent a lot of time putting together our own packages for our alums. We were looking for
a great mixture and the perfect formula to our alums to meet and mingle while supporting our
athletic programs,” said Texas Southern University National Alumni Association, Inc. (TSUNAA)
President Chris LeBlanc. “I believe this partnership will serve our TSU alumni base well.”
A total of two packages (The Suite Elite & A Touch of Class) featuring four options each are
available for fans to purchase.
Individuals who opt for one of the four Suite Elite Packages will have an opportunity to
experience the Labor Day Classic at its finest as three of the four options features luxuries such
as bottles of champagne, game day suite tickets and a hotel room with a minimum one-night
stay at the Holiday Inn directly next to Reliant Stadium on the corner of Kirby and La Concha
Lane. In addition, all options feature two tickets to the Labor Day Classic Hospitality Suite Mixer
also at the Holiday Inn.
Similar to The Suite Elite, The Touch of Class package also offers four options to choose
from. Individuals who opt for this package gets a chance to select from options that features
Reliant Stadium Club Level or Suite tickets, a one-night stay at the Holiday Inn and a bottle of
champagne. Also included with each Touch of Class option are two tickets to the Labor Day
Classic Hospitality Suite Mixer at the Holiday Inn.
“We’re committed to both institutions,” said Cavil. “We’re building a unique platform of ‘Elite
Weekend Sports Packages’ tailored to our cliental. We’re going to create a great EWSP
umbrella that will help Black College Sport progress in terms of further marketing games and
events in a major way that allows alums and fans to support their programs in the most
comfortable manner possible.”
