I discovered this plaque as I was walking the south side of Birmingham the other day. This is the site of the first Auburn/Alabama football game that was played on February 22, 1893. There were 5,000 people in the stands that day and the "Orange and Blue" won 32-22. Of course, there was no social media on that day and the game has been described as "the greatest football game ever played in Birmingham". I doubt if those people realized that this game would become one of the biggest rivalries in college football.
Enjoy the season and war eagle!
