Just heard interesting stat on Bama


Nov 12, 2019, 5:27 PM

Watching the 2005 CU @ Wake game. They kept breaking in with scores from the #5 FL @ #15 Bama game at Tuscaloosa. Bama was going up big & thumped FL that day 31-3. Turns out - it was the FIRST Bama win vs a top 5 team AT Tuscaloosa - EVER. Would not have guessed that (includes the whole time Bear was there and anyone else).

to be fair, they played a lot of big games at Legion Field back then. (h/t to Saturdays in the South)

I'm pretty sure they played in Birmingham for a long time

Legion Field

Opening for Crimson Tide football on November 26, 1927, Legion Field played host to Alabama through the 2003 season. Legion had an original capacity of 21,000, and was expanded over the years to reach a maximum capacity of 83,091 by the 1990s.[4] The Crimson Tide posted an all-time record at Legion Field of 160 wins, 52 losses and 12 ties.[4]

After expanding Bryant-Denny in 1998, Alabama moved major conference games to their campus. In the ensuing years, Alabama decreased the number of games scheduled in Birmingham. The last home game for Alabama at Legion Field was against the University of South Florida on August 30, 2003. Though they had a couple of games scheduled at Legion Field in 2005 and 2008, the disrepair to the stadium and the structural issues to the upper deck led Alabama to end their contract with the city of Birmingham in 2004 and move all home games to Tuscaloosa
