When did Auburn start pushing to play games against Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, etc at Auburn instead of in Birmingham?
We played UGA in Columbus, GA until 1960. I think we played them at Legion Field at least once in the 60s (1966?)
We played UT at Legion Field until 1974,and then we played them at Legion Field in 1976 - I think that was the last time.
The big push for the IB to be at Auburn started under Dye.

I obviously knew about the Iron Bowl, but I didn't know when Auburn started moving all their other games on campus and if that was a fight they had to have or if they just did it.
