Magic City Classic Fans –

History and Rivalry of the Food World Magic City Classic presented by Pepsi

The success of the Food World Magic City Classic presented by Pepsi football rivalry is easy to explain.  It is a football series filled with all the ingredients of any successful football rivalry, close competition, great football action, fiercely loyal fans and pageantry.  This game features Alabama A&M University and Alabama State University, two premier historic black colleges with long histories of tradition.  On October 27th, the Food World Magic City Classic presented by Pepsi will celebrate its 66th anniversary, making it the longest continuous football rivalry staged annually in Birmingham, Alabama.

Alabama A&M and Alabama State Universities first met on the gridiron in 1924.  After alternating sites between Montgomery and Huntsville, the game was moved to Legion field in Birmingham in 1940, and the Food World Magic City Classic was born.  The two schools have since met annually, except for 1943 and 1944 because of World War II.  Attendance has grown from the 20,000 fans that witnessed the 1940 game to the more than 68,000 spectators who packed Legion Field for the 2005 contest.  Since 2005, the Magic City Classic has been ranked the 2nd largest black college football classic in the country.

Basic Vendor Information

o MERCHANDISE OR NON-FOOD VENDOR SPACE FEE $500 PER 10X10 SPACE

o FOOD CONCESSION VENDOR SPACE FEE $750 PER TRAILER

First some basic local government red tape.
1) All  vendors must pay to the City of Birmingham a Business License/Tax Certificate fee of $100.00. This is usually collected by the City Revenue agents on the morning of the event. We have already built that into our Vendor Fee and will handle the agents when they come around.

2) Food vendors must also pay additionally and directly an application fee to the Jefferson County Health Department when they submit their application to set up their food concession. The fee is $100 if application is submitted 14 days before the event. A late fee applies if submitted less than 14 but more than 7 days prior to the event making the total fee $200. No applications accepted less than 7 days before the event. This is in addition to our vendor rights and space fee for NDaGame Entertainment.

Food permit application (2 pages) and Health Department payment should be sent out to Jefferson County Health Department. Temporary Food Service Permit must be filed and mailed to Jefferson County Health Dept., Food & Lodging Protection Division P.O. Box 2648, Birmingham, AL. 35202. Phone: 205-930-1260.  Any food vending questions call the Health Department at 205-930-1260 in general or try to reach Frank Cargo 205-930-1202 specifically.
Contact us to get your application paperwork.
