Montgomery, AL – Organizers say they're planning for a nationally-televised college all-star game in Alabama's capital city early next year.
The game will be played at the Cramton Bowl in downtown Montgomery in January.
Organizers predict financial success, though a title sponsor has not signed up.
Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange says the city got assurances that financial backers would foot half of the $750,000 bill. He says the city was also assured there would be a TV contract and that the NFL would support it in competition with the Senior Bowl.
The game will be played a week before the Senior Bowl. It's scheduled for Jan. 19, 2013 at 2 p.m. and will air on CBS.
