The 2021 Super 7 State Football Championships set a new attendance record with total attendance 62,544 over the three-day event at Birmingham’s Protective Stadium.
The previous record was 61,048 when the championships were held at Auburn University and were then called the “Super 6”.
Friday’s attendance was 28,182 for the Class 2A finals between Clarke County and Cleveland; the Class 4A finals featuring Vigor and Oneonta; and the 6A championship game featuring Jefferson County rivals Clay-Chalkville and Hueytown.
“This was great news for our schools,” said AHSAA Executive Director Alvin Briggs. “It is also a testament to the strong support the cities and communities across our state have for our member school education-based athletics programs.
“On behalf of our member schools and Central Board of Control, we thank everyone for that support including our corporate partners, the City of Birmingham, Protective Stadium and all who volunteered their time to make this week’s games so special for our member schools.”
The daily attendance breakdown for the week:
WEDNESDAY: 16,341
