Asleep On The Job






Legion Field in Birmingham's Graymont neighborhood was dedicated in 1927 and was the site of many many college and high school games.  Auburn and Alabama played several games a year there and annually the Iron Bowl until  2000.   In 1996 is was a soccer venue for the Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.  Of note, I participated in the Opening Ceremonies here in '96 myself. Talk about your 15 minutes of fame!

A pair of these limestone lions flanks the entrance on the south side of the stadium.  Shhhhhhh!
