Any leaks on stadium size or cost?

I think when people hear the total budget they need to temper expectations in that it doesn't mean it is bigger. It is a total budget for then entire BJCC project which includes a stadium.

That said this facility will put us in the next position we have ever been as a program when you factor everything together that is happening right now.

Big thing for all of us is selling tickets. More on that soon.

As far as the budget I don't want 100k seat stadium but what we get I want done right. The BJCC overall development is part of that to maximize the game day experience.

Look forward to hearing more about the ticket plan.

Hopefully part of the commitment from these corporations is buying an allotment of season tickets as well as the big, one time gifts for facilities.

I hope there will some kimd of Stadium Certificate that we can buy that will give us exclusive rights to a seat.

Hell, I'm counting on it.

You shut your dirty mouth.

Not familiar with stadium certificates.

Could someone let me know what this is about?

Appreciate it.

Okay... I called the AD and they said the certificates at LF were perpetual and that UAB has agreed to honor them at the new stadium. Unfortunately, we will have trouble selling tickets in these prime locations from now on.

I want my former season tickets that were in the gold "certificate" seating to transfer over to be in said certificate holder's seats at the new stadium. Can this be done?

Keep it up and Beetlejuice will show up, and then you'll be sorry.
