BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — Saturday afternoon, the return of UAB football will be closer than ever as they take the field at historic Legion Field for their 2017 Spring Game.

CBS42’s Simone Eli chatted with UAB’s AD Mark Ingram about the Blazer’s excitement, what they’ve been working on, and the many festivities that start today before tomorrow’s game.

There are only five months left until the UAB Blazers officially return from their two-season absence to face off against Alabama A&M.

“This is our only true dress rehearsal at Legion Field before we play Alabama A&M so we are going to treat this as close to a real game as possible,” UAB Football head coach Bill Clark said.
