College football isn't over just yet.

The milestone St. Petersburg will mark when All-Star players return for the annual East-West Shrine Game at Tropicana Field today, Saturday, Jan 23.

This is the game's fifth year in the Tampa Bay area, and its popularity has grown tremendously.

The efforts of Harold Richardson, executive director of The East-West Shrine Game,
along with Leigh Dittman, Katharine Koonce and Clint Crain, who have been patients at Shriners Hospitals for Children, make the game worthwhile.
