Harry, I told you before... when you post pics from certain businesses or from county jail, their firewall prevents them from being seen.

This is the original Kyle Field, as it would have looked around 1910:
They played football and baseball on this field, and held track meets there, too. In 1915, they moved the football field over to another portion of the same tract (the original sat in what is now the A parking lot behind the press box).
Kyle Field in 1925:
Kyle Field in about 1941 (would have looked the same from 1929 on):
Kyle Field in 1965. None of this remains in today's stadium.
Kyle Field after the 1967 expansion. Only the East Second deck remains:
Here is Kyle Field in 1999, which shows the 3rd decks constructed in 1979, and the north endzone structure constructed in 1999 (the classic "tackelbox"):

Alabama has never claimed a National Championship; we have always been given a Championship by various news services. The vast majority, since 1936, have been API or UPI.

You do actually claim 1941. Alabama didn’t even win the SEC in 1941. They finished third behind Mississippi State and Tennessee. Multiple other teams finished with undefeated records while Alabama was beaten twice. Beaten by both Mississippi State and Vanderbilt.
The final ranking for AL was 20th in the AP polls.
Only some SOS system (Holchul?? Hoshul??) ranked AL #1. If that is a valid reason for rankings, MSU deserves some major bowl love for the past three seasons or so.

What's the story on the little appendage on the edge of the West stands at Neyland?
Posted on 12/29/25 at 11:00 am to CleverUserName
1941 is indeed a bogus claim and we should drop it. I'll always suspect that we claimed that year (as opposed to, say, 1945, where we also didn't win the AP but at least have a much stronger claim) as a "frick you" to the media for failing to select us in 1966, a year we pretty clearly ought to have been champs.

Tiger Stadium '53 i believe. Thats the year they closed the horseshoe. Was a monster for that time period.

I am pretty sure that is not DKR in 1924. Darrell K. Royal was born in 1924. Texas Memorial Stadium was not named after DKR until the late 1990's.
