Head coach Dale Lennon celebrates with his team Saturday after the Salukis’ 36-19 victory against Southeast Missouri State University at Busch Stadium. Saturday’s matchup between the regional rivals drew 14,618 fans and marked the first football game to be played at Busch Stadium III. Less than two hours away from both schools’ campuses, Busch Stadium provided a neutral site for the longtime non-conference rivals who have played 81 times since 1909.

Players from SIU and Southeast Missouri State University warm up Saturday before the College Classic at Busch Stadium. The field was left in poor condition after the game and more than 100,000 square feet of sod will be replaced before the Cardinals play at home Monday.
