The Circle City Classic is an annual American football game featuring two historically black colleges/universities (HBCUs) that play in Indianapolis, Indiana. The event was established in 1984 and has been played every year except for 1994 and 1995. The game was held from 1984 to 2007 in the RCA Dome, and was moved to the new Lucas Oil Stadium for the 2008 game. In addition to the weekend's primary attraction, there is also a parade and concert related to the Classic.
