The
University of Alabama
once played up to three home football games there every season (including the entire 1987 home slate due to major renovations at
Bryant-Denny Stadium
, the Crimson Tide's on-campus home in Tuscaloosa), but has ended this practice; its last game at Legion Field was a 40-17 victory over the
University of South Florida
on August 30, 2003.
Auburn University
also used Legion Field less extensively, but the Tigers left upon the expansion of
Jordan-Hare Stadium
to a greater
seating capacity
. After 1980, Auburn's only home game in Birmingham was the
Iron Bowl
up to 1987 and in 1991.
And it used to seat like 11k more until the upper deck was removed..
p.s. The Iron Bowl is the yearly Auburn/Bama game..
