MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) -
Montgomery's Cramton Bowl is welcoming a new, multi-year venue to town as the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, or SIAC, announces that it will move its annual football championship from Atlanta to Montgomery.
The SIAC represents multiple colleges including Alabama's Miles College, Stillman College and Tuskegee University.
The conference, which is already planning to hold its 2014 Football Media Day in the Capital City, says the championship game will be played at Cramton Bowl for the next three seasons.
This year's championship game is scheduled for Nov. 15.
"The SIAC football championship game has grown significantly over the years and Montgomery is great fit for our postseason atmosphere. The Cramton Bowl is a spectacular venue as it has held some legendary games in college football," said SIAC Commissioner Gregory Moore. "We want to thank the City of Montgomery, Mayor Todd Strange, The Central Alabama Sports Commission and The Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce Convention & Visitor Bureau for embracing and assisting our transition to such a historic venue."
"It is both exciting and appropriate that the SIAC championship game is relocating to a venue in Alabama which holds such rich history and tradition, very much like the HBCU's represented by the teams that will be playing there," added SIAC President's Council Chair Dr. George T. French.
