This year's game is set for November 22 and will be played at the Florida Citrus Bowl. Orlando is very familiar with Florida A&M having hosted the Rattlers in several Citrus Weekend Classic games over the years.
The Florida Classic is one of the largest Black College Classic games in the country rivaling the Bayou Classic in New Orleans, Circle City Classic in Indianapolis, Atlanta Football Classic and newly established Carolinas Classic in Charlotte.
Since 1925, the two schools have met 51 times at sites like the Citrus Bowl, the Daytona International Speedway and Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee. Florida A&M currently holds a 38-11-1 lead in the series.
