I believe the SEC will regret selling everything to Disney/ESPN.... You need some competition to keep a balance.

Plus Disney is a terrible organization.

Don't worry it will be back in Birmingham/Hoover next year.

It had to take a backseat to the World Games this year.

As long as the SEC office is in Birmingham, it will always come back to Birmingham.

Closing Cermonies were well organized with technology, performances, and fireworks. Birmingham left a great impression on the international visitors. The future is looking bright.

With only the rest of today and tomorrow left, this can pretty much be considered a success. A lot of international visitors at these events as well. The Olympic President was in town. The Los Angeles Olympic Committee was in town. A lot of movers and shakers visited Birmingham. Birmingham proved it can host major international events. I only see good things for Birmingham in the near and far future. Residents of Birmingham should be proud of themselves. There's not been a major international event like this in the U.S. since the 1996 Olympics, and Birmingham was even a part of that.

Despite the negativity of some, this seems to be giving Birmingham a much needed boost in attention and self confidence. If the people of the world enjoy it, then there's really no excuse anymore. Birmingham can be whatever it decides it wants to be.

From the looks of the events, this might be the most attended World Games in a while after it's all said and done. The Sumo last night was pretty exciting and was also a sold out event.

The Hawks-Pelicans preseason game in Birmingham this year will be another highlight moment for Birmingham to realize that it can be at that level.

The USFL already did that to a level.

Oh now it's important enough to make a threat huh?

I mean come on, it's a growing city that just really hit the next level on it's growth spurt. Check back in 10 years and see whether you want to live in wherever you are now, or Huntsville.

B-ham defense has a little edge to it.

Defenses don't seem to hold up in this league in the 4th quarter. Thin rosters.

Weak throws get gobbled up in the USFL.
