Can't believe that Birmingham can't build a damn stadium somewhere.....I'm 63 and have some good and bad memories at LF but that dump is way past time to be imploded.

Legion Field is in the shittiest part of Birmingham, but your second picture is nowhere near Legion field. It's a BHA complex that was torn down about 12 years ago.

Pretty sure that your third picture was on the southwest side and torn down as well.

Has anyone been to El Paso? It is surrounded by more nothingness than anything I have ever seen. I work out there sometimes, and my God it is a terrible place.

I googled "smithfield community" & "legion field neighborhood"
3rd picture is labeled "Projects Across Street From Legion Field" - LINK :

2nd picture I used because it made the point best & was in the search

I've been in those neighborhoods a few times; only to 1 game though (this year)

it's time to knock that shithole down and build a new stadium - hopefully somewhere safe

What cities, other than San Antonio, have a domed stadium with no team playing in it? Would be a massive waste of tax dollars.

Montgomery. Some will say Detroit but Montgomery is a lot more boring.

Shreveport has the casinos


Yea that’s accurate honky but you have to be 21 years old to get into them. So what about all the freshmen, sophomores, and young juniors that can’t get into the casinos? I’d say Montgomery is probably the worst bowl game destination.

Shreveport and Montgomery hands down. You can easily have fun in the other cities.

I would have to say Montgomery. Birmingham at least has breweries and a few things to do. Montgomery sucks all around. Birmingham needs to implode Legion Field as it is past its prime. There is no use for that stadium.

any outdoor stadium where the weather is below 55 at this time of the year. Detroit is my leader with Shreveport and Memphis coming in. But Memphis does have good food

New Orleans, when it's full of Bammers and Clemtards.

It's a ComicCon of sidewalk fans

At least maybe the B’ham Bowl takes them to eat at the Bright Star in Bessemer.

UAB? Plus a bowl game. Plus you could start work towards a MLS franchise.

Sun bowl ain't so bad. Get some mexican food, grab a new pair of Tony Lama's, and enjoy the view.

We aren't getting an MLS team unless they implement pro/rel.
