ABOUT THE BANNER

Always More Than The Score

MARCH 28, 2024 - BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA

Created for Birmingham’s fans by Birmingham fans. The Banner’s mission is to amplify the athletes, teams, and stories that make Birmingham one of America’s best sports cities. Birmingham’s history is filled with banner moments, and we hope to join in celebrating those while bringing you feature content

The Banner’s coverage is led by award-winning journalist Steve Irvine who has a decades-long career with the Birmingham News and Long Beach Press Telegram. The Banner will cover Birmingham’s college and professional teams while also exploring the opportunities that exist for fans within our city’s thriving sports business landscape.

The Banner will always give you more than just the score. We want to provide each Birmingham fan with an all-access pass into the stories behind the plays, players, and games that make sports in our city great.
