Deion Sanders, other NFL greats raise profile, lead resurgence of HBCU football
WATCH: ‘It’s great for this city’: Why Orange Blossom Classic, Miami Gardens are perfect for this city.
Hard Rock Stadium has always been a boon for Miami Gardens economically — it’s the biggest taxpayer in the city and creates jobs — even if Miami fans aren’t always spending their money at local businesses and outsiders are typically staying in other South Florida cities. pic.twitter.com/3m3mna7Wm1

Think of the classic, which pits the FAMU Rattlers against the @DeionSanders-led Jackson State Tigers, as a cookout complete with a battle-of-the-bands show, spades in the parking lot and a whole lot of Black joy. https://t.co/gsFMgcO7Qt
WATCH: When the classic makes its return to South Florida on Labor Day Weekend, it will usher in a celebration of Miami’s Black culture not seen in 4 decades.
