COLUMBUS, Georgia -- On Saturday, the Albany State and Fort Valley State football teams will play the annual Fountain City Classic at A.J. McClung Memorial Stadium for the 24th time.Don’t expect that to change anytime soon.
Speaking at the annual media and coaches luncheon at the Columbus Convention and Trade Center on Tuesday, Classic chairman Calvin Smyre laid to rest any questions that may have arisen from uncertainty of the Classic’s future in Columbus.
“We’ve been here for 24 years, and we ain’t going nowhere,” Smyre joked to the crowd, which included fans, alumni, high school coaches and players. After the event had concluded, Smyre spoke further about the Classic’s future in Columbus, saying that the committee was in the process of negotiating a new contract with the city to remain at Memorial and would not seek offers from any other locations.
