i've been to 4 games 87,88 the stadium was still split 50-50. there was NO better atmosphere and game than the iron bowl, when the stadium was split.
90 was the first year of home-away and still at Legion Field. it was still fun and an experience but not like it used to be. 90 and 92 were great to me, Bama defense RULED both days, especially 92 on the way to the NC !!
ROLL TIDE!!

DD, I concur...Birmingham and a 50/50 spilt gave it a Bowl game atmosphere, hence "The Iron Bowl", plus you got to party in Southside after the game
why they changed it I don't know, I'm sure it was about money
and probably the fact Legion field isn't in the best of neighborhoods
although they are hosting the inaugural Birmingham Bowl this year
Well, Roll Tide! hope you & I will be doing a lot of this
tomorrow
