This helps establish Birmingham as a great host of major sporting events.?
Food World will remain as the title sponsor of the 67th Annual Magic City Classic in 2008, a partnership it has enjoyed since 2002. Food World has been an aggressive marketing partner for the game selling thousands of tickets annually inside their stores.
?Food World is proud to be associated with this great football classic,? said Kent Moore, President of Bruno?s Supermarkets, LLC. ?Many of the fans of this game support our Food World stores, and our title sponsorship is one way we can give back to the community.?
?This announcement puts such a positive image on the City of Birmingham, and it puts us on a national stage,? said Deborah Vance, Chief of Staff for the Birmingham Mayors Office. ?The City of Birmingham will continue its efforts to make the city a place where spectators will want to continue to visit and support. This is a great accomplishment for our entire community, and we look forward to working with the Alabama Sports Foundation for years to come.?
The Alabama Sports Foundation has managed all aspects of this Classic since 2000. The financial records for this game are in the final stages of being closed and exact amounts are not available, but both schools will reap record financial payouts from this year?s game. The 67th annual Food World Magic City Classic will be held at Legion Field in Birmingham on Saturday, October 25, 2008.
