After you’ve partied all afternoon on New Year’s Day, it’s time to head to the 14th Annual TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl. Kickoff is at 2PM on Thursday, January 2, 2020, at historic Legion Field. You don’t want to miss this “matchup of the year between the Atlantic Coast Conference and the American Athletic Conference.”

4–The TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl makes a big difference to the Crippled Children’s Foundation

For over a decade, the TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl has been donating money to the Monday Morning Quarterback Club. The money goes to its charitable arm, the Crippled Children’s Foundation. 

This foundation “provides direct financial support to charities providing vital medical services to area children.” In fact, since 2006, the bowl has generated over $340,000 for the foundation. Amazing, right?

5—Make New Year’s 2020 a Birmingham week to remember

Whether you’re local or from out of town, you can book a room at The Sheraton, The Westin or a number of other hotels and make an event of it. Be sure to check for TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl Fan rates. 

While you’re enjoying the festivities, consider exploring Uptown Birmingham. We even put together this piece a while back to give you a taste of all the area has to offer. 

If you want to have some fun at Uptown before New Year’s Eve, The Southern Kitchen & Bar is having an Ugly Sweater Holiday Party December 22 and a New Year’s Eve Party, too. 

  • Where: The Southern Kitchen & Bar, 2301 Richard Arrington Jr. Blvd N, Ste 300, Birmingham, AL 35203
  • When: Sunday, December 22, 3-9PM
  • What: look for Christmas movies, a hot chocolate bar (yum), ugly sweater contest, and many prizes! Enter the prize raffle by bringing canned food to donate.

Aren’t you glad you stopped by Bham Now to help you plan your entire New Year’s week?

Now all you have to do is get tickets for the 2020 TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl and party like it’s 1999 at the Uptown Street Fest and Pep Rally beforehand. We hope to see you there!
