Let's see now.....Astro Turf, bench seating, concrete block shitters with piss troughs, concessions were popcorn and coke and a stadium dog, gravel lots, located on the wrong side of the tracks......

Sounds like pretty much every major football stadium in the 1970s. You ever been to some of the NFL stadiums from that era? I have and they are all like that....you are comparing Legion to the modern stadiums and of course it's not the same.

No, I am comparing Legion Field to every on campus stadium in the SEC in the 70s. They only stadium that I thought was in worse shape than LF, was Grant Field. It was at least on campus. LF couldn't compare to even Fulton County Stadium and its cookie cutter brothers of that era.
