Done with college football? Here are the schedules for Birmingham’s 4 pro teams

Well, the college football season may have ended with a “thud” for Alabama Crimson Tide fans (they are welcome to join UAB’s parade!),  but have no fear, for the first time ever, the Birmingham metro area will have 4 professional sports teams playing almost simultaneously this winter and spring.

Previously, a dead period for sports locally, there will be lots of choices in the coming weeks for Magic City sports fans. Who needs college football when you’ve got hockey, pro football, soccer and baseball! Here is what to expect, plus schedules and ticket info.

Birmingham Bulls

Only a short 20-30 minutes from Birmingham,  the Pelham Civic Center is a great place to watch the legendary Birmingham Bulls. The arena holds about 3500 fans, and the product is family friendly and fun.

Presently, the Bulls are on a 21 day road trip and in 2nd place in the Southern Professional Hockey League standings. Their next game is January 18th.

There are 16 home games, not including possible playoff games, left on the schedule.  Don’t miss all the action and fun.

Birmingham Iron

Remember how football abruptly ends the day after the Super Bowl? Other than recruiting and Spring games there is nothing until the NFL pre-season in August.  The Alliance of American Football is about to change all that. Beginning on February 10th, 1:00PM at Legion Field, one week after the Super Bowl, the Birmingham Iron will kickoff their inaugural season against the Memphis Express.

Birmingham Iron’s most recent published roster has 24 players that played for Alabama colleges and universities (Troy, South Alabama, UAB, Miles, Jacksonville State, Tuskegee, UAB and Samford). 16 players played for Auburn and Alabama.

Four of the five  Birmingham Iron’s first home games during the 10 game season will be played between February 10 and March 9.
