B'ham City Councilors pass 5-year funding agreement to support UAB football

Expenses paid for by the city alone (2103):

Legion Field is free...city pay for the buses.

Much of the $590,000 in city funding for the Classic this year includes extras outside the regular contract that are added for the major event.

For example, this year's event includes $270,000 to the participating universities, $150,765 for shuttle services, $15,000 for ushers, $15,000 in catering and $20,000 for 1,600 game day tickets.

The extra tickets are divided between the mayor's office and the council.

Another $71,150 will be spent to promote and produce a post-game concert featuring Morris Day and the Time.

"Maybe we could let them take over the expense of the buses since we are giving them all this taxpayer money," Abbott said.

Birmingham's contractual obligation goes up $17,500 each year which is down from the proposed $25,000 annual increase, said Terry Burney, senior aide to Mayor William Bell.

The city has to survive too. There is no benefit to having you there if they are going to give you everything back that you allowed them to earn. LOL
However, considering that you all get THAT much from the city alone, there is no way this game is moving to home-home.

Let's close this thread.
 



Miles does not have the potential to win a other five conference championship.

MCC is a Birmingham Classic featuring ASU *AAMU. It is funding the two institutions well and not going to Huntsville/Montgomery. The Mayors of those two cities have already brainstormed and came up empty.
