One of the highlights of the week is the annual Senior Bowl Summit, set for Thursday night at the Saenger Theatre. This year’s theme is “A Stage Divided: A Night with Tide and Tiger Legends,” featuring stories and anecdotes from former Alabama and Auburn greats including Shaun Alexander, Ozzie Newsome, Cornelius Bennett, Ronnie Brown, Willie Anderson and Jason Campbell. Football historian and sports writer (and Mobile native) Ivan Maisel will moderate the panel, and comedian/impressionist Joey Mulinaro will also make an appearance.
Friday night features the Senior Bowl Street Party and Players Mardi Gras parade, during which players, college mascots, NFL cheerleaders and local high school marching bands will parade down Royal Street to Bienville Square to throw Senior Bowl trinkets and interact with fans. The night culminates with a free concert by Grammy Award-winning hip-hop artist Nelly in Mardi Gras Park.
Saturday is game day, with pre-game festivities including a performance by the Southern University “Human Jukebox” marching band, which will also perform at halftime.
