Yes, it was a preseason game.

It also may have been the defending NFL champion Washington Redskins, I can't remember.

Doug Williams was the QB for the Redskins & they had won the championship some time prior to the exhibition game - at least within the last few years of it.

Yes, they were defending champs, however the attendance wasn't too bad, not good enough to impress anyone though.

I know the jags and the Bills have been talking about moving.

51,400 I was there with my wife and son. We sat under the upper deck about the where we sit now for UAB games. My employer gave me the tickets. I admit cheering for the Redskins. I'm an NFC East guy.

Was that NFL exhibition game the last NFL game in B'ham? I don't remember the game but I was there, using my dad's tickets since he had died in the Wallace Tower of UAB that July. All this discussion of that game sure stirs up memories of that summer and fall.

My football season tickets are in the gold seats... I'm guessing the gold seats are no longer governed by the seating rights of old.

Yes, that was the last NFL exhibition game that has been played at Legion Field.
