SUMMARY:From the Outside Looking In: A limited blog series on the Birmingham 2025 Mayoral Race (Election Day is August 26)
DESCRIPTION:We don’t typically post political items on Urbanham.com (outside of paid campaigns) but we are talking about the Birmingham Mayor’s race only because it matters – not just to the city\, but to people we know and to the broader future of Alabama. With one of the largest African American populations in the South\, Birmingham holds cultural\, historical\, and economic weight. We want to see the city continue to thrive returning to the vibrancy\, opportunity\, and pride that once made it Alabama’s largest and most influential city. This includes more than just Downtown and Entertainment Districts but those inner city communities that are often neglected. \nIn a digital age clouded by negativity\, memes\, and misinformation\, our goal is to cut through the noise and offer voters real\, balanced insight into all of the candidates. We do not endorse any individual\, but we strongly believe in honest\, transparent leadership and elections grounded in integrity. When elections turn into smear campaigns\, the people lose and voter participation suffers. We’re here to do our part by shining light\, not casting shadows. \nIn this limited blog series our goal is to push through the negativity and smear optics and share the platforms presented by the candidates. We will also focus heavily on the issues that have been voiced by voters and business owners. \nWe are not here to debate but just to pull the records and platform of each candidate and share what we find with our voting audience. We also hope that this series helps to increase voter participation. \nUrbanham.com \nRead More: https://urbanham.com/category/from-the-outside-looking-in/ \n

SUMMARY:Statewide HBCU Football Schedule (August - December)
DESCRIPTION:More Than a Game: How HBCU Football Season Fuels Campus and Community Economies \nWhen the drums start rolling\, the grills fire up\, and the marching bands take the field\, you know it’s football season at an HBCU. But beyond the touchdowns\, tailgates\, and halftime shows\, there’s something even bigger happening: money is moving—and it’s moving in a way that powers entire campuses and cities. \nLet’s break down why HBCU football season is not just a sport—it’s a full-blown economic engine. \nGame Day = Big Pay \nEvery home game is more than just a chance to cheer on your alma mater. It’s a revenue generator. Think ticket sales\, concessions\, parking\, merch tables\, and stadium vendors. For the bigger HBCUs\, a single game can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars.\nThen you’ve got the classic games—like the Magic City Classic or the Bayou Classic—which aren’t just matchups\, they’re full-scale economic explosions. The 2023 Magic City Classic\, for instance\, dropped over $25 million into the Birmingham economy in one weekend. \n \nPrime Time\, Big Time \nHBCU games are increasingly showing up on major networks like ESPN\, CBS Sports\, Peacock\, and HBCU GO\, pulling in national sponsorships from big brands like Nissan\, Cricket Wireless\, Coca Cola and Pepsi. \nWhen your team is playing under the lights—and the bands are doing their thing at halftime—eyes are watching\, and dollars follow. That spotlight boosts not only athletic budgets\, but school pride and enrollment too. \nHomecoming = Hotel Heaven \nIt’s not just the schools winning during football season. Local businesses—from hotels and restaurants to barbershops and boutiques—see a major surge in revenue on game weekends.\nHomecoming? That’s a whole different level. Cities with HBCUs often prepare months in advance for the flood of alumni\, families\, and fans who roll into town. It’s a mini economic boom\, year after year. \nMore Than Athletics \nThink football only benefits the athletic department? Think again. Game day magic spills over to: \n\nScholarships and band programs\nNon-revenue sports like volleyball and tennis\nCampus facilities and tech upgrades\nAdmissions and student recruitment (nothing makes a student want to attend more than a packed stadium and a booming band)\n\n \nCulture\, Commerce & Community \nThe heartbeat of HBCU football lies in the culture—and the culture creates commerce: \n\nFood vendors serve soul food with long lines and fast hands.\nBlack-owned clothing brands set up shop near tailgates.\nDJs and step teams make every weekend feel like a block party with a purpose.\n\nIn short\, HBCU football supports a whole ecosystem of creators\, entrepreneurs\, and local businesses. \n \nFinal Whistle: It’s Bigger Than the Game \nFootball season at an HBCU isn’t just about the scoreboard—it’s about the dollars\, pride\, and power that come with it. From band battles to vendor villages\, game day brings life to campuses and dollars to the doorstep of entire communities.\nSo next time you’re at a game\, remember: you’re not just witnessing a sport—you’re part of an economic movement that’s helping HBCUs and their hometowns thrive. \nSo let’s show and up support our HBCUs and vendors during one of the most economical seasons of the year! Your support matters! \nIn State HBCU 2025 Schedule\n** Make sure you confirm kick-off and local broadcast times in your area. \n🏈 Special Mention: Week Zero Football Classic (August 30\, 2025)\n \nThe Week Zero Labor Day Classic double header\, taking place on Saturday\, August 30\, 2025\, at Legion Field\, will feature Clark Atlanta University football team in a thrilling matchup against Valdosta State University and Fort Valley State University vs University of West Alabama. This event is set to be a memorable day filled with football\, community\, and celebration\, accompanied by the largest BBQ festival in Alabama. \nGroup ticket packages are available\, and purchasing in bulk will ensure that students\, faculty\, alumni\, and supporters can come together and show their team support. \nPlease reach out for ticket packages and additional details. We hope to see you there! \n\nValdosta State University vs Clark Atlanta University – 12:15pm Kickoff\nFort Valley State University vs University of West Alabama – 4:15pm Kickoff\n\nFor additional information email info@weekzero.org or visit https://weekzero.org/ \n 🏈 Alabama State University Hornets (SWAC\, FCS) \n2025 schedule includes:* \n\nAug 28 (Thu) @ UAB – Protective Stadium\, Birmingham\, AL – 7:30 PM\nSep 6 (Sat) @ Southern University – 6:00 PM\nSep 13 (Sat) vs Miles College – 4:00 PM / White Out at ASU Stadium\nSep 27 (Sat) @ Florida A&M – TBD\nOct 4 (Sat) vs Bethune‑Cookman – 3:00 PM\nOct 11 (Sat) @ Jackson State – TBD\nOct 25 (Sat) @ Alabama A&M – 2:30 PM\nNov 1 (Sat) @ Prairie View A&M – TBD\n\nSWAC conference games still to release\, totaling 12 games including two non‑D1 matchups and one FCS non‑conference game \n🏈 Alabama A&M University Bulldogs (SWAC\, FCS) \n2025 schedule includes: \n\nAug 30 (Sat) @ Arkansas (FBS opponent) – 4:15 PM ET / 3:15 PM CT\nSep 6 (Sat) vs Alcorn State – 7:00 PM – White Out Louis Crews Stadium\, Huntsville\nSep 13 (Sat) @ Tennessee State – \~3:30 PM CT (Legacy Series in Nashville)\nSep 20 (Sat) vs Lane College – 6:00 PM – Boots & Buckles / Suicide Awareness Night\, Huntsville\nSep 27 (Sat) @ Bethune‑Cookman – 2:00 PM CT – SWAC matchup\nOct 4 (Sat) vs Jackson State – 4:00 PM – Gulf Coast Challenge at Ladd‑Peebles Stadium\, Mobile\nOct 11 (Sat) vs Mississippi Valley State – 2:00 PM – Homecoming\, Huntsville\nOct 25 (Sat) vs Alabama State – 2:30 PM – Magic City Classic at Legion Field\, Birmingham\nNov 1 (Sat) @ Grambling State – TBD\nNov 8 (Sat) vs Prairie View A&M – 3:00 PM\nNov 15 (Sat) vs Florida A&M – 2:00 PM\nNov 22 (Sat) @ Texas Southern – 2:00 PM\n\nA 12‑game slate highlighted by matchups against an SEC opponent\, three classic games\, and multiple SWAC rivals. \n🏈 Tuskegee University Golden Tigers (SIAC\, Division II) \n2025 schedule includes: \n\nAug 31 (Sun) vs Winston‑Salem State – Red Tail Classic\, Cramton Bowl\, Montgomery – 6:00 PM\nSep 6 (Sat) vs Central State (OH) – Cleve L.
