The key now is to use our relative early success (both on the field and in the stands) and try to convert the curious/casual fan (currently about 12,000 in my estimation) in to that "core" fanbase group. It won't happen overnight, but I think that a "core" fanbase of 25,000-30,000 will not only make us very competitive for any future conference realignments, but also gives us a platform from which to push for an oncampus stadium (if the BJCC stadium doesn't progress in the meantime).
My son is a true UAB fan because he was born into the fold. Both his parents are UAB graduates so attending all the UAB functions in his early childhood shaped his view. Sadly he chose another university to pursue his athletic endeavors on the collegiate level due to UAB's limited athletics but he was home for homecoming this past weekend. So give it time new generations of UAB fans are in the making
