Tuscaloosa taken out of Super 7 host site rotation

Super 7 High School Football Championships have been help in Bryant-Denny Stadium for the last fifteen consecutive years.

However, December 2023 was the last time the high school students would perform under the lights of the stadium in Tuscaloosa at least for some time.

While reacting to this change, the Tuscaloosa city leaders mentioned that they had been expecting this change for several years, but it would still hit high school sports hard.

On the other hand, Kip Tyner, a Tuscaloosa City Council President opined thus, “While I pity the Carol G. Culpepper, the one I really feel sympathy for are for those high school players. ” “Many of these children are not going to have the chance to play college football, so they are not going to achieve this dream further. ” Being able to play on the field of the University of Alabama’s Crimson Tide, which many of these kids have probably adored since their early childhood, was fantastic to watch, I loved to observe the faces of the boys coming out of the tunnel and finally running on the field.

It explained that with change of the College Football Playoff expansion, the Super 7 will no longer be played at Bryant-Denny. In the new format, stadium would qualify as one of the venues for the playoff match. Alabama could host a playoff game in December and still keep the Super 7 concept intact only if both events had to be moved to Alabama from two different locations. That said, a significant reduction will be observed in the host venues since Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn will no longer be hosting the tournament.

Some people have expressed joyous and others have expressed angry + Some people have expressed positive responses while others have expressed negative responses.

Some of them include: “As a matter of fact, I am pretty excited about the possibility of having a playoff game, you know, to host one myself here in Tuscaloosa. ” “Well that would probably get more people excited to be honest with you Though the phenomenon is excellent for basketball I am sure The playoff is the one to be embraced here. ”

Hall also responds positively to the change of involving college football playoffs. Those who participated in the first Super 7 Championship, or were city leaders appointed at the time, are no longer in their positions.

‘I really am disappointed,’ Tyner shared his feelings. “You know, let me tell you this, when Tuscaloosa tourism was still with Don Staley and they managed to get super seven here in Tuscaloosa. ”

Tyner also opined that the Super 7 was as favorable tournament for local business as that of the certain area.

This is contrary to what most people think that if the Crimson Tide managed to get to the playoffs, they ensure they have a home game.

“We’re not guaranteed that game, where you were guaranteed the high schoolers,” he said.

Whether or not a host site, Tuscaloosa Tourism and Sports President and CEO Kelsey Rush said this change has opportunities for our community.

She believes this is the way to go and says “It really inspires our team to go out and fill that gap now with new business. ” In a sporting arena or a new business meeting and conferences or whatever it may be, so it creates a door to a new opportunity.
