Alabama Athletics’ Student-Athlete Advisory Committee hosts the annual event in conjunction with the Tide’s Life Skills initiative
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – It was the third record-breaking year in a row for Alabama Athletics' Halloween Extravaganza, with more than 3,000 members of the West Alabama community filling the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility Monday night.
Attendance for the 17th-annual Extravaganza bettered last year's record total by more than 400 ghosts, zombies, police men and women, super heroes and super villains. That total doesn't include the 250-plus Crimson Tide student-athletes who took part in the annual event, many in costumes of their own.
Each year the event is put on by the UA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the Tide's Life Skills initiative. Each team hosted activities on a night that also included houses of both the bounce and inflatable variety as well as a Big Al sighting and a farmer whose costume included his own tractor.
On the way in, members of the community filled Beat Auburn Beat Hunger barrels to overflowing in support of the West Alabama Food Bank and on the way out, the kids did a little trick or treating.
The Halloween Extravaganza is part of a year-long slate of programming designed to fulfill Alabama Life Skill's mission to provide opportunities for growth through personal development and service initiatives, empowering Crimson Tide student-athletes to be difference makers and people of positive influence as they pursue success at Alabama and beyond.
