Last chance for Birmingham fans to see their home team in person?

So far pretty chippy. Turnovers and loose play. I guess it doesn’t help that this is a nothing game for both teams.

Would've thought more fans would show up to see their home team for the last time. Looks like 6-8k in the stands, disappointing

Hard to say as they are spread around a 72k stadium. Its hot their today but 8-10k I'd say.

Either way it's the last home game of a team that's heading into the playoffs. I expected today's game to match or exceed the home opener.

i hear you.

Its so hard to gauge at Legion field vs Protective - maybe it was. With nothing to play for I guess people decided to pass...

And I've said from beginning Birm is a small city, SA is 2.5 x the size - would have been a better choice.
