	The Tuscaloosa-Auburn group appears to be the only other real competition to the games remaining in Birmingham. Those two foundations have combined with the idea of hosting these events on the campuses Auburn and Alabama, alternating the football "Super 6" with the basketball "Final Four" and basing the rotation by playing the football games at the site that does not host the Iron Bowl that year. Unfortunately for Birmingham, Auburn and Tuscaloosa offer huge advantages: newer stadiums with state-of-the-art facilities, plus the excitement for high school athletes of getting to play in the same venues as the Crimson Tide and Tigers. The atmosphere around the college campuses is more conducive to tail-gating, allowing fans to walk out of their team's games and walk to nearby downtown and shops, particularly in Tuscaloosa where "the Strip" is just a block away.

Another idea would be to split the games between the schools each year, like they used to do with basketball.

I think this is a great idea. Have the FB Super Six in T-town and the BB Final Four in aubarn, then vice versa the next year. I think it would mean more to the players if they got to play at BDS or JHS.
