The 41st Annual New Urban League Football Classic to be held on Saturday September 14, 2013 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ at 3:00 P.M. Virginia State University returns to the New York Urban League Football Classic to take on South Carolina’s Benedict College.

NYUL Football Chair Anwar Ismael encouraged New Yorkers from every HBCU to be part of this unique east coast tradition, “Whatever school you graduated from, we’re bringing HOMECOMING WEEKEND to you at MetLife Stadium. Grab your family, your friends, your frat, your sorors, your congregation and fire up the grill—BUT first get your ticket! You don’t want to miss a southern style Battle of the Bands, and a tailgating experience like no other. ”
