The Iron Bowl is the final game of the season for both Auburn and the University of Alabama. It was once always held at Legion Field, in Birmingham, Alabama, one of the largest steel and iron producing centers in the world. The rivalry between the two schools and the evolution of that bowl game are explained in this site:
