Yes and no. UAB still hosts their football games at legio field but that is going to change in the next ten years. Legion field has it's history but it is now a shadow of what it used to be. It's not the structurally soundest building in town and it is aging rapidly. Secondly legion field is in the ghetto. It's very dangerous at night. Other than the UAB football games, the alabama state/ alabama a&m game, and the bowl game, it is never used. Uab has been talking about either doing away with the football team or building a new stadium. If the dome is built I would imagine the bowl game and the al state/al a&m game would be moved to the dome and legion field will be demolished.
