Alabama and Auburn used to play in Birmingham every year, being a major steel manufacturing city which is why it got it's name "The Iron Bowl". Auburn bitched about it for years and wanted it to be home and home saying that Birmingham was not neutral. 
That is neither here or there now, since Legion Field is a dump.

FWIW... UGA played Auburn in Columbus Ga.(38mi from the AU campus) every year from 1920 thru 1958...
So from 1933 to 1958 we played Auburn in East Auburn (Columbus) & Fla in East Gainesville (jax is 70mi from Gainesville) every year...
It's a wonder we lead the UF series and are tied in the Auburn series...
