It took almost a year and at times threatened the future of the storied HBCU rivalry, but this week a recalcitrant Alabama A&M reached an accord with the Alabama Sports Council to participate in the event through 2026.
Sights and more from the Magic City Classic 2022. Alabama State, in a second-half comeback, defeated Alabama A&M 24-17It’s a stretch to say the magic is back.
The A&M agreement is essentially the same proposal presented to it on Friday, September 15, with an additional $200,000 provided to the school in 2023 , some new provisions , and a few tweaks in legal language. Among those in the room were ASU President Dr. Quinton Ross, A&M President Daniel Wims, Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin, along with Gene Hallman and Perren King, representing ASC and Eventive, the company hired to produce the event, including selling sponsorships.
“The Magic City Classic is a special event that is synonymous with Birmingham and Legion Field,” added Councilor Clinton Woods that day. “I’m excited about the decision made by the schools to continue for another four years. Anyone who has attended this event can attest to how special it really is.” In a letter to Woodfin dated April 18, 2023, A&M General Counsel Rochelle A. Conley wrote that the university found “unreasonable” a provision in the agreement with the city restricting either school from entering into an agreement with a third party regarding the location of the Classic for ninety days following the 2026 game.
