# Atlanta Football Classic

The Bank of America Atlanta Football Classic was an annual football classic game between two historically black colleges and universities. The game has since been replaced by the Celebration Bowl HBCU championship game.

## History

The game was played annually in Atlanta. The first three years, it was held at Bobby Dodd Stadium, and at the Georgia Dome from 1992 to 2014.

### Coverage

Versus/NBCSN broadcast the game from 2008 to 2012. Because the two participants in the 2013 and 2014 contests are both part of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, to which ESPN held broadcast rights, ESPN broadcast the game on its online outlet, ESPN3.
