About the Birmingham Bowl
On November 16, 2006 Papa John's became title sponsor of the Inaugural Papajohns.com Bowl owned and operated by ESPN Regional Television. Since 2006 the bowl game has produced an economic impact of more that $41 million dollars.
The Papajohns.com Bowl marked the return of post-season football in the City of Birmingham which previously hosted the Dixie Bowl (1947-1948), the Hall of Fame Bowl (1977-1985), and the All American Bowl (1986-1990).
Legion Field-Birmingham Legion Field is a large stadium in Birmingham, Alabama primarily designed to be used as a venue for American football, but is occasionally used for other large outdoor events. The stadium is named in honor of the American Legion, a U.S. organization of military veterans. At its peak it seated 83,091 people for football. Today, after the removal of the upper deck, Legion Field seats approximately 71,594 spectators.
