BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — “Man, today it’s about passion for UAB,” said Timothy Alexander, a UAB Football alum.

As students returned to school Monday, the band, the cheerleaders and fans came in a good numbers as the UAB football team returned to the field…against themselves, in their “Green & Gold” scrimmage.

They played in front of a packed crowd at the school’s soccer field, as if it was an actual game day.

The program was brought back last year after it was shut down in December of 2014 and early Monday they broke ground on a new football operations facility, another great sign that UAB Football is back.
