Thanks to our Sponsors!

Alabama A&M University and Alabama State University are pleased to announce that Food World and Pepsi have once again signed on to be the title and presenting sponsors of the 66th annual game to be known as the Food World Magic City Classic presented by Pepsi.  The 2007 Magic City Classic marks the sixth year that Food World will serve as the title sponsor and the seventh year that Pepsi will serve as the presenting sponsor.  The Magic City Classic would not be the huge success that it has become without the continued support of these sponsors.  Additionally, the Magic City Classic would like to thank the other supporting sponsors:  U.S. Army, City of Birmingham, Jefferson County, Jobs Quest, McDonald’s, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Greater Birmingham Convention and Visitor’s Bureau.  Please be sure to support these sponsors who support your Magic City Classic.
