Magic City Question: a section reborn
So here’s the simple version. We’re re-branding – sort of.
It’s our intention to keep our main tag line of Birmingham’s hub for information, especially as we introduce a few more things into the mix over the next few weeks. What we will be doing is refocusing on what makes using the blog format so much fun – encouraging the conversation.

From none to two professional teams?
One of the many arguments against the construction of a new facility (or dome) that could host football games is the fact that while metro Birmingham is home to the Birmingham Barons, it does not currently field a professional major league team.

We’ve already written about the All-American Football League and the tryouts held at Legion Field this summer. Well now the city has recently been mentioned as a possible franchise site for the new United Football League being founded by Bill Hambrecht, a former minority partner in the Oakland Invaders of the USFL, and Tim Armstrong, a senior executive at Google. The league would begin play in August 2008 with eight teams holding games on Friday nights. And you can help decide if we get the team.
