Tailgating spots for the Magic City Classic will go on sale at noon Thursday, Sep. 11 and they’re expected to go quickly.

One of the biggest draws to the HBCU rivalry between Alabama State and Alabama A&M is what happens just outside Legion Field in the days and hours leading up to kickoff.

The online advanced sales will go through BigTickets.com with tailgating spaces going for $456.82 each. There will be a limit of two spaces per transaction + will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

“The Magic City Classic is one of Birmingham’s most cherished traditions, and tailgating is at the heart of the experience. Every year, spaces sell out quickly, so I encourage everyone to secure their spot early and be part of the excitement. Don’t wait—these spaces won’t last long!”
Birmingham City Councilor J.T. Moore

All tailgating is sold and managed by Legion Field. If you have any questions, please contact Legion Field directly at (205) 254-2391
