The '''Pigskin Classic''' was a season-opening [[college football]] game played at [[Anaheim Stadium]] from 1990 until 1994, and continued from 1995–2002 at various stadiums. It was initially created as a west-coast counterpart of the [[Kickoff Classic]] and hosted by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. From 1990–1994 it was sponsored by [[Disneyland]] and referred to as the '''Disneyland Pigskin Classic'''. Until 2002 the NCAA only allowed for teams to play a 12-game regular season schedule if the first game were a licensed Classic (such as the Pigskin Classic, the [[Kickoff Classic]], or the [[Eddie Robinson Classic]]).
