Big Al Appearance Request
Thank you for your interest in booking Big Al, the University of Alabama's beloved mascot, for your event. We make every effort to have Big Al at as many events possible. Costs vary, so please refer to the "Big Al Appearance Policies." If you have any other questions you can fill out a request form below and add your comments/questions. For all appearance requests May 5 - August 18, 2025, we do not have students in town. You can still put in the request, but our students are not required to be here in the summer and we cannot promise any summer requests will be fulfilled.
How to Schedule an Event
- Complete a request form found on our website at least two weeks before the event.
- You'll be notified by email if we have to decline your event request. If we are able to do the request, you'll be notified with further information. Please be patient, if your event is months away, you may not be notified until closer to the event date.
- If you are requesting cheerleaders, please email alabamacheer@ia.ua.edu.
You can reach any of us below in our Spirit Office with questions.
