Construction of a 21,000 seat stadium began in 1926 at the cost of $439,000. It was completed in 1927 and named Legion Field in honor of the American Legion. In the stadium's first event, 16,800 fans watched Howard College shut out Birmingham-Southern College 9-0 on November 19, 1927.
Legion Field currently serves as the home stadium for the UAB Blazers. However, the most famous use of Legion Field was as the former host of the Iron Bowl. Additionally, both the University of Alabama[3] and Auburn University have used this stadium for games across their history, primarily due to its size and location.
