The Circle City Classic organized a pep rally outside of Lucas Oil Stadium for fans of both North Carolina Central University and Mississippi Valley State University a day before the big game.

INDIANAPOLIS — The yearly battle between two Historically Black Colleges and Universities football teams is back in Indianapolis and fans could not wait until kickoff to show their excitement.

The event featured both schools' marching bands as well as several Black vendors outside of the stadium. "HBCU dollars and Black dollars are big," Vonita Quick said."If you don't believe it, just host an event and watch the people that will come out." Scores of Mississippi Valley State fans and graduates also attended the pep rally. That included Ora Lloyd Parker, an Indianapolis resident who graduated from MVSU 50-years-ago.
