Terrific stadium, nice fans, I took a road trip with friends to see our team play. Terrific experience, and don’t forget to have lunch at Dreamland prior to the game.
My mom was at The University of Alabama in 1988 when they put up the west upper deck. It's amazing to see how much work people put into building this grand giant. I remember when Houston played Bama in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. I was sitting with my mom and grandmother. Was pulling for my Cougars, but had to root for Bama as well for my mother.
Nice history! Thanks for posting! Ohio Stadium turns 100 years old this season….initial capacity 66k…also had dormitories in it for the honor students. Much like this stadium, a lot of the initial support and architecture is now changed out or built over. I hope to see it some day!
I was there in 1986 when Penn State beat 'Bama on their way to upsetting Miami in the National Championship. The one thing I remember, the hospitality of Tide fans, they could not have been nicer even in defeat. 👍😎
I remember the little fire station right outside the south enzone. Verner Elementary was south of the stadium. Did 1st & 2nd grades there. Big parking lot now.
