Where else have we played? Because simple math would say we've beaten you more than 4 times at your place.

That high school stadium couldn't even qualify as high school prior to the 1990s. Alabama would play Ole Miss and Mississippi State at Memorial Stadium in Jackson for road games.

A quick perusal of Stassen shows at least 10 wins for Bama in Oxford.
Ole Miss fans are generally full of shite about everything.

Last game in Jackson was 1989.

It's actually 7-3, it's only 5-4 if you count the forfeit in 1993 and ignore the vacated win in 05.
Which obviously Ole Miss does.

I can't speak for Ole Miss but I can tell you for a fact that Msu's administration did not care about football to the displeasure of boosters and fans alike. Back in the 90's there was a lot of termoil and friction between powers which was long overdue.
It's like having a terrible city council and trying to overthrow the powers that be that held a headlock over anyone who dared cross them.
It's been a long slow process but the bulldog club has record numbers now and the biggest money donors have stepped up after the change. It's not just Sec money, we have big donors who've stepped in because they've been waiting on shite to change.
ETA: Msu was always disadvantaged for years playing Sec games in a nuetral site in Jackson. You may say that's not neutral but it is 2 and a half hours from campus. We sat on a 39K stadium forever because idiots thought it was just fine playing in Jackson.

I think that Alabama has played in Bham several times and OM I Jax?
Posted on 9/15/16 at 11:25 pm to Whereisomaha
Why have they not played a lot there?

Not enormously different from Georgia playing in the Georgia Dome, LSU playing in Nawlins, Bama playing at Legion Field, or Arkansas playing at War Memorial. Things were different back in the day, for a lot of teams.

You apparently are too young to know shite. For many years MSU home games vs Sec were played on a nuetral site. Not one or two, MOST and sometimes all.

I'm but a babe in the woods compared to you, no doubt, but that doesn't change the fact that multiple programs played multiple "home" games away from home, primarily because of larger population centers, which actually translated into greater numbers of fans having easier access and more opportunity to go to games. It's not a coinky-dink that games were played in Jackson instead of Starkville, Birmingham instead of Tuscaloosa, and Little Rock instead of Fayetteville. Do you know what attributes all these cases have in common?

Well it's true. I remember games in Jackson
