Subject doesn't meet the WP:GNG due to a lack of independent, secondary coverage. What coverage does exist simply quotes the press release announcing the inaugural game. Let'srun (talk) 20:33, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If early season kickoff games such as the Aflac Kickoff Game, Duke's Mayo Classic, Camping World Kickoff, Vegas Kickoff Classic, Cowboys Classic, and Texas Kickoff get their own article, then the Allstate Crossbar Classic should also get its own article Michiganwolverines2014 (talk) 21:06, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pointing out other articles is not a valid argument. The article on this particular game must stand or fall on its own merits. Frank Anchor 21:37, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:GNG. The only coverage in the article or on a Google search were WP:ROUTINE announcements that this particular, already scheduled game was going to become the first in a series of games under this nickname. Frank Anchor 22:12, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Outside ESPN and Learfield arranging a branding for it, this is a bog standard Tide home game and it'll be the same next year for whichever two teams they find to paste a logo on the field for. Nate • (chatter) 00:41, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Unlike most kickoff games, it appears this isn't even a neutral site event — just a sponsorship deal applying this name to what otherwise would simply be a run-of-the-mill home game. Neutral site games, while not necessarily notable in and of themselves, at least have the potential of garnering the requisite significant coverage — there's almost no way that will ever happen with this one.
