The first game ever in Crampton Bowl wasn’t a football game.

It was a baseball game, in which Auburn beat Vandy 10-7 in May of 1922. May 1st to be exact.

Had no idea.

Cramton Bowl

quote:

Cramton Bowl is named for Fred J. Cramton, a local businessman who donated the land on which the stadium is built.

I lived in Montgomery and did not know this for years until my barber told me.
