Alabama AD Getting Rid Of ‘Dixieland Delight’ Tradition?

During homes games, Crimson Tide fans partake in singing along to Alabama’s “Dixieland Delight,” sometimes adding their own lyrics.

“We regularly review all songs played at our athletic events. As part of that review, ‘Dixieland Delight’ will be discussed. It is always our goal to represent the University with class in every endeavor, and the behavior of our fans is an important element in that effort.”
