It has been three and a half years too long. When Bill Battle posted a video on Twitter stating that “Dixieland Delight” would be returning for the homecoming many fans could not contain their excitement. The song had been banned from Bryant Denny Stadium after the 2014 Iron Bowl when students yelled explicit phrases toward Auburn throughout the whole song. Despite the banning of the song Alabama students continued to sing the song, created a petition that was sent to the athletic department and did whatever was possible so the song could still be involved. When Battle stated Dixieland’s return it was evident that there would be a new form of energy in Bryant Denny for the homecoming game.
Dixieland Delight more than just a song for Alabama fans
