Exactly. Just another reason to pursue the appropriately sized open air stadium. This would give the stadium a regular tenant from March-November between the USL and UAB.
So I guess they'll play their 2018 transitional year at the current Sicard Hollow fields and then move. But even they do eventually plan to play in the new Uptown stadium, it won't be ready be March 2019. So they'd either have to play their first professional season at Sicard Hollow (yuck) or find a temporary home for *probably* one season at either Regions Field or BBVA Compass.
