HBCU Pigskin Showdown organizers have big plans to get Marion ready to host its second major all-star football game that will be played in front of thousands of spectators, a national TV audience and up to 32 NFL scouts in December.
Chris Williams, Pigskin executive director and co-founder, says they will be adding seats on all four sides of the field at Marion Military Institute to fit 5,000 fans at the game set for Dec. 17 at noon.
