MADISON, Ala — Madison has two of the best high schools in Alabama, and each year, they go head-to-head in the Mad City Bowl.
This Friday night (Sept. 6) will be an exciting evening for MCS and the Madison community when our two teams - Bob Jones and James Clemens - compete in the Mad City Bowl.
While rivalries are fun, I would like to emphasize the importance of kindness, patience, and sportsmanship by those who attend all of our athletic events. These wonderful athletic events are a time to focus on the young people playing, cheering, and performing.
For The Madison Bowl, the parking lot area will open at 4 p.m. and the gates will open at 5 p.m. Any tents or tailgating will be designated to the west side of the parking area next to Garner St. After the game begins, entry into and exit from the stadium will take place via the home gate only. The home gate will take tickets that are purchased for the entire length of the game.
There will be no free admittance during the game.
For our athletic events to be safe and enjoyable, spectators and students need to be aware of our MCS Stadium guidelines.
