This is a great accomplishment for our entire community, and we look forward to working with the Alabama Sports Foundation for years to come.?
The Alabama Sports Foundation has managed all aspects of this Classic since 2000. The financial records for this game are in the final stages of being closed and exact amounts are not available, but both schools will reap record financial payouts from this year?s game. The 67th annual Food World Magic City Classic will be held at Legion Field in Birmingham on Saturday, October 25, 2008.
