Legacy Arena won't be available in 2021 due to the massive planned renovation.

Quote:AHSAA Executive Director Steve Savarese confirmed the governing body had discussions with UAB and Birmingham officials about using Bartow Arena or Bill Harris Arena as possible locations for the 2021 tournament...

Nothing has been decided, Savarese stressed, but it’s clear Legacy Arena won’t be available in 2021. Bartow Arena, which seats about 8,500 spectators, seems to be the preferred site, but no formal agreement has been announced.

One of my favorite events...hope it works out to stay in town at Bartow and Harris.

I’ve always thought Bartow would better for the 1A-4/5A. Atmosphere will be much better at UAB for those smaller schools.
