Dixie Bowl

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dixie Bowl was a post-season college football bowl game held New Year's Day at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama. The game was only held twice, following the 1947 and 1948 seasons, after which it was discontinued. Birmingham and Legion Field have since played host to a number of other bowl games including the Hall of Fame Classic, All-American Bowl and the Papajohns.com Bowl.

Both games featured teams from the Southern Conference and the Southwest Conference, with the SWC representative winning each one.
