We'll have beer, bloody mary's, bourbon, and other pleasantries and will be grilling out. Look for the Army flag on the Black Xterra playing Corey Morrow - anyone is free to join us.
I drove through B'ham coming back from Memphis over the holidays and scouted out Legion fieild - Not hard to get to but you kinda have to know where you're going. There's plenty of open room around the stadium but not a great part of town.
Should be a great time.
here are the directions i got from an SMU buddy living in B'ham...
Yes sir, exit the MASSIVE airport.
Take I 20/59 West to Bham. Stay on 20/59 thru B’ham then look for signs to Arkadelphia Rd. A right exit past the I-65 Interchange.
Exit Arkadelphia, take a left on Arkadelphia, go up and over the hill.
WELCOME TO THE HOOD and then you are basically there. Take a left onto Graymont and you can’t miss it.
As a kid when Bama/Burn played there we parked in those yards and paid but it was packed then, for this game you might just drive up to the stadium and valet, ha.
