The Gulf Coast Classic is back—and bigger than ever.
What began in 1974 as a powerful annual showdown between Southern University and Alabama State University quickly grew into one of the South's most celebrated cultural and athletic traditions. Now, we're reigniting that legacy in Mobile, Alabama, with an expanded Classic Week of events that draws regional leaders, alumni, families, entrepreneurs, and rising talent.
And this time, we’re building more than a game. We're building a hub of opportunity.
Your sponsorship is an investment in regional momentum and measurable visibility. As a partner, you’ll gain direct access to:
✅ Thousands of loyal alumni and fans
✅ Regional and national media coverage
✅ Engaged consumers and business leaders
✅ Strategic networking and talent acquisition opportunities
✅ High-energy live events that make your brand memorable
This is not just advertising—it’s activation.
