[edit] Attendance records

• This section should reflect all-time records, not just UAB records. The article is about the stadium. --Dystopos 21:02, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent Changes

• FIFA does not support the use of FieldTurf, as stated in an earlier revision. FIFA does not support ANY manufacturer--FIFA publishes a series of standards in relation to synthetic turf. Any manufacturer that meets those standards then attains FIFA RECOMMENDED status for that specific installation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.126.157.76 (talk • contribs)

[edit] POV and wordy sentence about Auburn moving out

Auburn University has used the stadium similarly for a while, but not as extensively, for it had played some of its home games in Columbus, Georgia at one point and had enlarged its home field, Jordan-Hare Stadium, to a seating capacity roughly equal to that of Legion Field well before the University of Alabama had done so with its facility, Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Yes, yes, Auburn built a serious on-campus stadium before Bama, but this sentence is both verbose and misplaced. As Auburn-Bama one-upsmanship it probably doesn't belong on Wikipedia, but the fact is fine. Just please be concise; turning an article like this into a proxy Iron Bowl is inappropriate. - PhilipR 04:55, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hall of Fame Bowl

I added a small paragraph about the Hall of Fame Bowl being at Legion Field from 1977 to 1985. It was sad to see it leave the field in 1985. I attended the game on New Years' Eve 1981. The fact was already reflected under the Outback Bowl article but I thought it should be mentioned here as part of the history. Mark @ DailyNetworks talk 13:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
