"On September 23, 1927, Cramton Bowl became the site of the very first game played “under the lights” in the South with Cloverdale taking on Pike Road High School. Former superintendent D. H. “Sarge” Caraker remembers fondly, “[We] used dishpans for reflectors and sent to California for the lamps. We drew 7,200 people from all over the South to see it.”

Cramton Bowl plays host to the Faulkner University Eagles. It is also home to the Turkey Day Classic, Camellia Bowl and in 2009 hosted the inaugural HBCU All-star Bowl.
Cramton Bowl also provided a location for Alabama Crimson Tide football home games in the capital city. The Crimson Tide played home games at Cramton Bowl in the 1922 through 1932 seasons, in 1934, from 1944 through 1946 and again from 1951 through 1954. Alabama's all-time record at Cramton Bowl was 17 wins and 3 losses.
Cramton Bowl probably achieved its greatest fame as the home of the Blue-Gray Football Classic, an annual college football all-star game which was held there each December from 1938 until 2001."
