From USA TODAY Network and wire reports Alabama Tuscaloosa: Alabama football has developed a reputation for drawing big crowds to its A-Day spring football game, but even at limited capacity, the 2021 game earned a distinction. Saturday’s attendance of 47,218 is the highest at any U.S. sporting event since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Yahoo! Sports. Capacity at Bryant-Denny Stadium was capped at 50%, or a little more than 50,000 fans. Alabama, which traditionally offers free admission to the event, charged $5 for tickets this year so it could control the number of people admitted and allow attendees to socially distance. It came within a few thousand tickets of selling out available seating. According to Yahoo, Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, is the lone large stadium allowing full-capacity crowds. The Texas Rangers drew 38,238 for opening day. Alabama drew an overflow crowd of 92,138 to its 2007 spring game, Nick Saban’s first at UA, and has had attendance of more than 60,000 in every year since. The 2020 spring game was canceled due to the pandemic.

AllOnGeorgia Registration is open beginning March 1 March 1, 2021 Attorney General Chris Carr today announced that registration is open for the 10th Annual Georgia Legal Food Frenzy, a statewide virtual fundraising competition among Georgia’s lawyers to help end hunger across the state. The 2021 competition will take place April 19 – 30, and is managed in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, the State Bar of Georgia, the Young Lawyers Division (YLD) of the State Bar of Georgia and the Georgia Food Bank Association. “During one of the most tumultuous years in our nation’s history, many Georgia families turned to our regional food banks to put food on their tables,” said Attorney General Chris Carr. “In fact, our Georgia Food Bank Association has been working hard to meet a sustained 50 percent increase in demand since last March. I was incredibly inspired by Georgia’s legal community for coming together to generate 3.3 million meals for our food banks last year, and this year, we are looking forward to joining our colleagues to help even more Georgians in need.”
