The Cure Bowl may not be the last bowl to move to a smaller venue to improve the atmosphere. With the construction of new stadiums at UAB and South Alabama, we could see the Birmingham Bowl and Dollar General Bowls make similar moves to the Cure Bowl.
The attendance of these stadiums pales in comparison to their much older predecessors, with UAB’s new stadium seating 55,000 compared to Legion Field’s 71,594 and South Alabama’s seating 25,000 to Ladd-Peebles’ 33,471. Moving these bowls would only benefit them both as both will likely continue to fall well short of sellouts in the near future.
