How long before Huntsville proposes one on a rocket / space theme? There are already two in Mobile & one each in Montgomery and B'ham.

Does Huntsville even have a large enough stadium?
A&M's Louis Crews Stadium is just north of Huntsville, I believe. Seats a tad over 20K.

It is, and that size is correct. I think that's the only stadium with any size in the area.(Milton frank seats 12k, Madison city stadium, 5k)

Thanks to the present leadership of the UA System and their "hired gun".
BTW, What happens if UAH asks to build its own OCS of about 30,000 seats? Would Huntsville get the same treatment from the BOT as Birmingham?

Hey now, don't let facts get in the way of a good argument. I have been to several UAH soccer games that have had at least 100 fans there. They deserve a 30,000 ocs for that program.

For what is not my question. I am asking if Huntsville would be treated any differently than B'ham. by the BOT. The state's leaders are bragging about all the new industrial plants they have gotten for Huntsville, while not a peep about jobs for Jeffco / B'ham. For that matter, do you think that Huntsville and UAH would be treated differently (from UAB) if UAH would express a desire to form a future D1 football team?
UAH doesn't have the enrollment to support a d1 team. I'm not sure where this is going, but it doesn't make any sense.

If the state's leadership keeps pumping up Huntsville (right along with Mobile), we could see both cities' schools surpass UAB in the next decade. USA has its own medical school and UAHuntsville may add more than engineering to its offerings. With those two being spared the "anti" problems Jeffco / B'ham has in the state leadership, big changes could be in their future. They are not having to fight others for what they want to do.

UAH has a respected business and nursing school as well. They also offer education degrees, I know because I saw my wife get one. Acting like UAH is simply an engineering school is just as ignorant as those who act like UAB is a med school with undergraduate programs only working toward that.
The state leadership doesn't pump huntsville up, the federal government does that.

BOTH are "pumping up" Huntsville. As for UAH and its offerings,I expect those to diversify and enlarge exponentially over the coming decade while the UA BOT continues to stifle UAB..
I doubt that. UAH is what it is. I have a degree from there, so I don't say this in any sort of derogatory way. The bot isn't going to build all kinds of new buildings at UAH while leaving vacant ones at UAB.(the logistics are an issue to begin with). That just doesn't make any damn sense. And no, the federal government props up huntsville. The jobs created by Toyota and Remington are a drop in the pan compared to what the federal government creates up here. I'll listen to you tell me about George Wallace and stuff that went on in Birmingham in 1975. I'm not going to have you tell me what's going on in the area I live in, especially when you say a sign I drive by daily is located in limestone county.
