Buying Guide: 2019 Birmingham Iron Tickets
January 2, 2019
Home to the best college football team of the century, Alabama has had semi-professional football teams come and go. The latest is the Alliance of American Football’s Birmingham Iron, which kicks off on February 10 at Legion Field.
The Iron will have plenty of home-grown talent, including nearly a dozen former Tide players, as well as players from Auburn, South Alabama, and UAB. Due to the regional nature of the AAF, Alabama controls players from a hotbed of college football, including 11 Alabama schools, Louisiana Tech, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina State and South Carolina.
Likely the most well-known player on the Iron roster to date it former Alabama running back Trent Richardson, who was the No. 3 overall pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2012 NFL draft. Richardson struggled to fit in the NFL and last played pro football in 2017 for the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders. At Alabama, Richardson was an All-American (2011), the SEC Player of the Year (2011), and a two-time national champion (2009, 2011).
With Birmingham’s season opener approaching, below is a look at ticket options available at Legion Field.
Whether you’re looking for preferred parking or priority access to playoff tickets, the Iron’s season-ticket packages have you covered. Starting at $75 for five home games, season-ticket holders will have exclusive access to players and unique fan experiences, as well as home-game tailgates.
With prices starting at $20, single-game tickets are a great way to catch pro football in Birmingham. Single-game tickets are available through primary market ticket vendor Ticketmaster for every one of the Iron’s home games, including the first game of the season on February 10 against the Memphis Express.
