What To Know About The Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex

The Athletic Championships Birmingham Nationals returns to the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex in Birmingham, Alabama, in 2024, and the area should provide plenty of fun and entertainment for the competitors and their guests.

The BJCC is a one-stop opportunity for the teams to compete, dine, enjoy the Uptown Entertainment District or check out historic Birmingham. Or all of the above.

The complex includes two exhibition halls and three entertainment venues, including the state’s largest arena and concert hall, and Alabama’s largest hotel (757 rooms).

The 2024 Athletic Championships Birmingham Nationals will be held in the North and East Exhibition Halls.

The multi-purpose Protective Stadium is home to the University of Alabama at Birmingham football team, the Birmingham Legion FC (professional soccer), the USFL’s Birmingham Stallions (professional football) and the annual 76 Birmingham Bowl (college football).

The recently renovated Legacy Arena welcomes concerts, shows and sporting events and can seat 18,000. It’s also home to the Birmingham Squadron of the NBA G-League.

The BJCC Concert Hall & Theatre also is versatile. The Concert Hall can seat more than 2,800 guests for concerts, shows and productions of all kinds. The Theatre is more intimate and can seat 1,000.

In late 2022, Birmingham introduced City Walk BHAM, an outdoor space that serves as a meeting place for guests and locals alike and helps celebrate and connect many aspects of the city. 

The area includes art, lighting, food trucks, a skate park, playground, pickleball courts, an amphitheater, roller rink and areas to socialize and have a meal or drink. 

Speaking of food and drink, HERE are some suggestions, in case there’s time to step away from the competition. 

HERE are directions and parking information for the BJCC, as well as all the questions frequently asked about the property.

The League by Varsity All Star

The League by Varsity All Star presented by Corksicle is the official ranking system for the sport of All Star cheerleading, changing the conversation from “Who won the weekend?” to “Who ranks at the top this season?” 

Every team that competes at a Varsity All Star Event this season will be included in The League by Varsity All Star. 

Team rankings are determined by the Points System displayed here. At each Varsity All Star event your team competes, your team will earn points based on the assigned event and placement point value. 

At the end of the season, your five best Varsity All Star event scores will be used to calculate your final rank. 

In total, 120 winners will be recognized from first to third place across each region. One champion will be crowned in each of the five regions across the eight eligible divisions, meaning 40 champions will be awarded in total. Champions will win cash and prizes!
