Richard Ensor, who oversees “The Classic,” noted the impressive turnout of enthusiastic fans on the opening day.
“It’s only going to get better as the days progress,” he remarked. “Once things settle, Saturday promises a packed schedule, capped off by the highly anticipated slam dunk contest at 6:00 p.m. It’s always a fan favorite, and we’ll just build from there.”
Brad Harper, co-director of the Arby’s Classic, acknowledged that while the initial day presented some unexpected challenges, it was a resounding success overall.
“Good to have day one in the books. Learned a lot today,” he said. “Had a lot of great people jump in and kind of do things that kind of came up that we didn’t expect. But all in all, I think it was a really successful day, considering the adjustments we made on the fly, the schedule changes, and everything. I think it worked out really well.”
