Summary
Representatives of the Alabama Stings women’s tackle football team asked the council for letters of support, help securing a stadium and financial backing; the team said its first Mobile home game is April 18 at Cottage Hill Park at 6 p.m.
Speakers representing the Alabama Stings women's tackle football team introduced the organization and asked the council for support with facilities and fundraising.
Sabrina Mass told the council she was "honored today to be the first person to ever introduce the Alabama Stings Women's Tackle Football representing Mobile, Alabama," and asked for letters of support to present to local high schools and for any assistance the council could provide with finances or facilities. She said the team faces funding challenges and noted their first Mobile home game on April 18 at Cottage Hill Park with a 6 p.m. kickoff.
