Hi there! First time posting. I’ve been interested in this team for a little bit, but I have still yet to watch them play. But something I’ve been looking at is possible locations for a new, smaller venue around the Birmingham city area. There are a few locations that might be ideal and are pretty near the city. I have four areas in mind:

1. 1st Ave N & 32nd St N. Almost too perfect. With the right size, the amazing location next to Sloss Furnace, it just seems like a pretty unique area to put the arena. Possible to open nee bars/restaurants close to it and it would be so good.

2. 21st Ave N & 16th St N/18th St N. Besides being located really close to train tracks, this area is just big enough to hold a stadium. Parking might be an issue here. But it might work. Not my ideal location but it’s still close enough to the city.

3. Golden Flake Dr. This area is a great alternative to Sloss. It’s still right next to downtown, would be part of the Golden Flake Factory renovation into a public area like Lowe Mill in Huntsville, area is big enough for both stadium and parking. Plus, amenities would be available nearby. And it would be in walking distance to nearby apartments (with a tunnel or bridge of course). This one is a great location IMO.

4. Valley Ave. Homewood. Technically not in the city, but super close. Only option outside of the city. This site sits across from Valora apartments. I forget who owns this property (Homewood Education maybe?) but a venue would fit here for sure. Also close to apartments and neighborhood households. Best access in terms of residences nearby. Still, easy access from roads to get to.

Those are what I have for the moment. I thought this would be fun to do cause I’m bored at work and just needed a diversion. What are your thoughts? Would love to hear from y’all!

First concession stand:

“I’d like the $5 draft please”

“We’re not doing that. We don’t have the cups”

buys a $12 Yingling instead

Second concession stand:

“I’d like the $5 draft I see on the menu right there.”

“Oh, we’re only doing the Trim Tab. We’re not doing that.”

Third Concession Stand:

“I’d like a $5 beer” * points to it on the electric menu board*

“Sure. Would you like a Budweiser can or a Miller Light Can?”

….”Budweiser, please.”

“Here you go..” charges me $5 plus tax, tip, hands me a cold Budweiser 12 ounce can.

Holy Mother of Incompetence. It’s like a game or a riddle or something.

I recognize that Legion has a home game against Lousville on June 29, but...

https://visitdothan.com/soccer-giveaway/?utm_medium=paid&utm_source=ig&utm_id=120210377924790078&utm_content=120210377927440078&utm_term=120210377925280078&utm_campaign=120210377924790078&fbclid=PAAaap9QSpRYNg3XxDLiEG3uJ0FcVCnoWOJmCCriTjH5zhVJk_JgAEr8I8-UI_aem_yvgl-VPFv__12sTqI5f3fA

That promo is up from Dothan to win a package to the game.

https://www.bhmlegion.com/news/2024/06/17/goalkeeper-jayden-hibbert-joins-legion-fc-on-loan/

I was hoping that Trevor was ready to be back on the pitch.

And we need a big man in the middle to make runs on goal.

I was wondering if anyone had any details about the soccer clinic on Sunday , I was looking for details and I couldn’t find any. What time does it start and will my kids need soccer gear. Thanks

The game tonight is at 6:00 at Spain Park. Asheville is one of the top teams in USL2, not just the division. If you have the time to drop in and see two good teams, the fan support could help the guys pull off an upset.

Thanks for getting my hopes up, Instagram Wankers.

But it got me thinking…Yall know of any pubs/breweries/bars in Birmingham that have committed to showing Copa America (outside of just USA) and Euros matches? Hopefully with sound? Can we convince one to do so?

Would be a lot cooler if you did.

Mujeeb Murana is starting tonight for Miami FC's match against Louisville. Does anyone know anything about this? There's been absolutely no word about this from our club on our social media channels or website and I have no idea whether he's been loaned or traded. The FO really has to do a better job in communicating with our fanbase.

Hi friends! The Magic City Brigade has the 2024 jersey for sale again, and there’s a new pride scarf we’re selling as well. Scarf proceeds to the Magic City Acceptance Center, as well as Prideraiser funds from that campaign. You do not need to be a member for any of this.

With Birmingham–Southern College closing at the end of the month, I'm curious if Birmingham Legion has considered buying the college's campus. I think the club could use Goldfarb Field at Berylson Soccer Park as its training facility and upgrade/retrofit General Krulak Stadium into a modest pro soccer stadium.

There's always a difference between seeing a game in person vs on TV (or streaming). Legion 2 played against a very good team last night that I hope can turn into a rivalry, and they won 1-0. If you haven't had the time or opportunity to see them play in person, I encourage you to get out to a game. There are players out there that you'll probably see in the future as pros.

Next game is Friday night at 8:00, the second game of a double-header involving the women's team (the Three Sparks play at 4:00). The ladies schedule shows their game is set for Spain Park High School, which is where they played most games last season. The men's schedule says it will be at Protective. But, let's be realistic and acknowledge there's ZERO chance that's true. The Stallions play at Protective at 11am the next morning, so I don't see the field being set for our team and then flipped for football in a tight window. Best guess is the guys will also be at Spain Park (same club is coming in against both of our teams). But I guess we'll wait to get the final word.

The game tonight has been moved to Homer Smiles stadium in Leeds. Tickets at the link below

It's early, but never too early when it's such a short season.. Dothan United comes to towm Tues evening to face the Hammers at 7:00. Dothan is at the top of the table in our division, undefeated, and is the only other USL2 team in Alabama. We have two common opponents. East ATL, we drew and the Dragons won 3-2 on the road. And, TN SC, who beat us 3-0, and Dothan beat them last night 4-1. Our guys are going to need support, so I'm hoping we can get some fans and the supporters groups out there. Unfortunately, there's not a link for tickets yet. But trying to get this quality rivalry on everyone's radar.

That ball not going in the goal perfectly encapsulates this entire season so far.

Legion WFC looked good tonight in a 2-1 win. With a tough start to their season, they looked strong at the end, and I thought Athens looked tired.

Also, Dothan beat East Atlanta 3-2. They play again this weekend before coming to Bham on Tues to face the Hammers.

Two first half goals stand as the final score.

Legion WFC face Athens at 7:00

Also of interest, Dothan United plays at 6:00 against East ATL. Dothan is the next opponent for the Hammers Tues, at home. East ATL will stand as a common opponent for both, so will be interesting to see the result

https://www.bhmlegion.com/news/2024/05/22/derek-dodson-joins-legion-fc-on-loan-from-minnesota-united/

Should be a great signing for us. Mujeeb Murana is probably the least excited person to see this guy come in.

There's a double-header header today in Athens, GA with Legion 2 leading off the action today at 3:30, followed by Legion WFC at 7:00. Pray for a active streams to be available. #hammerdown

Legion 2 lost tonight's game at Tennessee SC.

I will follow Kaylor Hodges' lead and refer to the game tonight this way: the Hammers play against Tennessee SC tonight at 6:30. TN SC looks like a solid club this year, and a tough test away. If you get a chance, check them out via the stream on SportsEngine Play.
