Alabama’s Magic City Classic Returns This Weekend

The Largest HBCU (Historically Black College or University) event in the United States, attracting around 200,000 participants, is held in Alabama.

The Magic City Classic has been an annual tradition since 1945, featuring Alabama State University and Alabama A&M at Birmingham’s largest event.

This football rivalry takes place each year on the last Saturday of October, which means it’s this Saturday, October 25, at Legion Field, with a 2:30 p.m. kickoff.

From all the parties, the parade, tailgating, the football game, and, of course, the half-time shows, the Magic City Classic is definitely an experience.
