Magic City Classic fans can avoid being tied up in Magic City Classic game day traffic and take advantage of shuttle rides to Legion Field. The shuttles will be available at three locations: the Crossplex, Boutwell Auditorium and the parking lot at Seventh Avenue North across from Phillips Academy.

New this year is that there will not be a post-game concert, and the shuttles will stop running two hours after the game.

The shuttle rides are $5 per person, roundtrip. Tickets can only be paid with a debit or credit card. Cash will not be accepted. Children six years old and under ride free. But every child attending the game must have a game day ticket to enter the stadium. ADA shuttles will be available at each location. If a fan needs an ADA shuttle, they should notify an employee at the shuttle location.  

Shuttle tickets will stop being sold at 4 p.m. Fans can find details about the shuttles and other Magic City Classic information at www.birminghamal.gov/classic.
