About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Legion Field Cemetery was located in McClendon Park near the back of where Legion Field Stadium now stands. The cemetery was established approximately 1820 and consisted of about 5 acres. There were approximately 140 Caucasian graves and 175 African-American graves. The cemetery was abandoned approximately 1910 and was destroyed when construction of Legion Field Stadium began in 1926. The City of Birmingham has long denied the cemetery ever existed.
