Magic City Classic marks 75 years of sport and spectacle
By Solomon Crenshaw Jr.

October 26, 2016


Albert J. Benifield Jr. grew up attending the Magic City Classic and loved the pageantry that accompanied the annual meeting of Alabama A&M and Alabama State at Birmingham’s Legion Field.

As an adult, Benefield, president of the Alabama A&M Alumni Association, lived for a while in New Orleans and believed there was no bigger spectacle among historically black colleges and universities than the Bayou Classic, pitting Grambling State against Southern.

But Benefield has changed his mind. “Now the Magic City Classic has overtaken the Bayou Classic,” he said, “making that the largest event for black colleges.”

Black College Living has posted on hbculifestyle.com its rankings of the biggest HBCU classics based on attendance. The Magic City Classic has been atop that list the past two years.

The 2014 edition drew 67,710. The Bayou Classic followed with 57,852 and the Southern Heritage Classic with Tennessee State and Jackson State drew 46,914.

The game at Legion Field brought in 63,874 a year ago and the Bayou Classic narrowed the gap with 62,507. The State Fair Classic, pitting Grambling State against Prairie View A&M, had 51,328 in 2015.

Those attendance figures for the Magic City Classic don’t include the throng in the parking lot around Legion Field for tailgating. Many in that crowd choose not to come into the stadium.

Welcome to the "Classic" Tiger 1

you have to give a full report of your experience once this weekend is over. It will be cool to hear about your very first "classic"
 
So far so good we left the TJMS around 7 am and went to Fifes. When I tell you I felt like I was in Pcola FL with my grandparents having a good country breakfast. Good people and good people at Fifes. Had the grits bacon and sausage eggs with toast with the butter melted right in the middle. Headed to purple onion now and some party called Classic Affair at the wineloft.
