Perhaps no region of the U.S. takes its college football as seriously as the South. Because of this, some of the top rivalries
come below the Mason Dixon line, like the Iron Bowl. The 2010 Iron Bowl saw the Auburn Tigers narrowly beat the Alabama Crimson
Tide 28-27, and both teams will be fighting hard for the victory during the 2011 season.
The rivalry between the University of Alabama Crimson Tide and the Auburn University Tigers runs deep, which has kept it
one of the best yearly matchups in NCAA
football. The teams have been facing off for well over a century, with numerous now-iconic games over the years. A victory
at the Iron Bowl earns the winner a year's worth of bragging rights.
The Iron Bowl has been played at various locations over the years, but the locations that fans love the most are the two
teams' home venues. The Crimson Tide plays at Bryant
Denny Stadium, which features an impressive capacity of over 100,000. The Tigers' home is the Jordan-Hare Stadium, which also features a rich
history and a large capacity.
No matter where the Iron Bowl is played this year, any fans of Alabama or Auburn won't want to miss out on the action.
After all, this game is always hard-fought no matter where each team is ranked in the standings. Just make sure to book your
sports tickets for the Iron Bowl early, because
fans show up in droves for this game.
