Enter "PHILLY" in the promotional code box. That gets you buy one, get one free pizza. That's worth more than a 50-yard ticket to East Carolina-South Florida.

BTW, I keep hearing what a dump Legion Field is, and the stadium itself isn't so bad. The press box? Eh. The surrounding neighborhood? Phhht. But the stadium is OK.

Does anyone else get this thread confused with the one about the Sports Machine?

Hasn't the city spent a lot of money refurbishing the stadium?

They tore down the upper deck opposite the press box because it was condemned.
They put in FieldTurf, but that was like putting earrings on a pig...

The stadium needs a new paintjob and other wonderful things...

Like maybe a football team to play there. Maybe Hoover could move in, since no one else is there.

Yeah, it's pretty dismal in the self-proclaimed "Foohbawl Capital of the South."

If it's the Sammy's Bowl, the biggest boob of all'd have to be there.

Actually, UAB plays there. So ... um ... OK, you're right after all.

or maybe birmingham will get a professional team. maybe uh, the wfl, usfl, cfl or xfl will consider putting a team there.

 

[Crimson Tide]

I saw an XFL game there. What a letdown. I don't even remember who they played, who was on the team, who was the coach. Nothing.

The XFL gave us three things: 1) Tommy Maddox; 2) He Hate Me; 3) the over-the-field skycam. Only the skycam is worth a **** and still in use in the NFL.
