East LA Classic

The Classic brings out alumni from all parts of the world, usually fielding crowds in excess of 25,000 per game[1] and has been held at Weingart Stadium on the campus of East Los Angeles College, in Monterey Park, California, for much of its existence.

The event was held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for a few years before returning to its original location at Weingart Stadium.

For the second straight year, the two organizations have partnered to donate jerseys, shoes, gloves and other football gear to both schools.

The Riders pulled off the win with a missed field goal attempt by Garfield to tie the game in the final seconds of regulation.

The 2022 classic game returned back to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on October 21, 2022, it featured former Super Bowl halftime performers the Black Eyed Peas with drones as part of the show.
