VISIT JACKSON & HANK AARON PARTNER TO OFFER SHUTTLE SERVICE FOR SOUL BOWL!
Visit Jackson and the Hank Aaron Sports Academy are partnering again to provide gameday parking and shuttle service for the game affectionately known as the “Soul Bowl” between Jackson State University and Alcorn State University.
The game, a blue out, kicks off at 2:30 p.m. this Saturday, November 22, at Mississippi Veterans’ Memorial Stadium (The Vet). Gates open at 12:30 p.m.
A $25 parking fee (debit and credit card only) is required to access the free round-trip shuttle service from 10:00 a.m.to 7:00 p.m. from Smith-Wills Stadium, located at 1200 Lakeland Drive, Jackson (2.6 miles from The Vet).
“The shuttle has been very impactful,” said Christine Blackmon, Chief Experience Officer for Visit Jackson. “We’ve received emails stating that the service has been a godsend for some who had stopped attending because of traffic woes.”
The shuttle drop-off and pick-up will be near Gate 4-B at The Vet. The first shuttle will depart at 10:00 a.m. and the last shuttle will depart The Vet at 7:00 p.m. Security is provided until the last shuttle returns.
Shuttles will run with an escort every 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on traffic throughout the competition, with a short break at the beginning of the third quarter before shuttles start transporting fans back to Smith-Wills.
