## Resource

Birmingham’s police chief wants to move all alumni events from local parks to Legion Field after a July shooting at a picnic near Woodlawn High School, citing safety as the main reason. While some alumni fear losing the nostalgic charm of neighborhood gatherings, others, like event organizer Dana Woodruff, are open to the change if it means better security. The debate hinges on whether safety can outweigh tradition—and whether Legion Field can truly replace the personal, sentimental connections tied to those familiar parks.
