Either scan in the letter or admit you remembered it wrong.

There is physically no way your numbers work.

What he was implying.

Get your own letter- they will be glad to send you one.
The city P&R Board will send you a letter just like they did me. Then you can argue with them if you disagree. One phone call was all it took and you are the one demanding proof. Then you can scan YOUR copy for all to see.

This can easily be settled. When bernreuter and Matrix are doing their volunteer workis doing his volunteer work at Legion Field, just have them do a quick count.

I don't care what you think, just quit passing out illogical and bad info. Even if I got a new letter, and posted it, you would refute it's validity because it wouldn't be what you misremembered.

BNB fan would doubt their accuracy. Because it is not what the letter said.

But my scanned letter would be instantly accepted as gospel by you? Get your own letter.

The contents of this message are hidden because Memphis Blazer is on your ignore list.

You guys should try this. It's awesome.

Absolutely. In fact I will be amazed if you can get a scanner to work.

So anyway, yes, Buccaneerlover, there were a fair amount of people there.

Quote:The intelligence of bernreuter is hidden because he keeps posting on Blazertalk.

*crickets*

It's funny how you just happen to know which posts to indicate that you don't know what is being said.

The SIDELINE on both sides of the field are 100 yards long BETWEEN THE TWO GOAL LINES, as I stated. The end zones are not "between the goal lines". Every seat north of the north goal line is a north end zone seat and every seat south of the south goal line is a south end zone seat.

The P&R wrote in their letter that there are 26,000 TOTAL seats (east & west stands combined) between the (north & south) goal lines.

Of these 26,000 seats, over 5,000 (about 20%) are under the legal restraints imposed by the Stadium Certificates now said to be in the hands of about 1600 persons and held in perpetuity as long as Legion Field exists and is used for ANY KIND of college or pro football games.

So by using this chart below.



If sections 5-15 and 31-41 equal 26,000 total. Sections 16-30 in the north endzone would have to be 23,000. Sections 42-45 and 1-4 in the south endzone would be 23,000. Is the west upperdeck from the chart seats included in the 26,000 sideline seats or not?

Is there any evidence that these "stadium certificates" are still valid or mean anything? I find the fact that UAB or the bowl game or the Classic are limited by these 5,000 certificates hard to believe, about as hard to believe as the idea that the land under Young Memorial Stadium can't be used by UAB, a state entity, for anything other than a park because of some 100 year old restriction in place on the city.

Of course there is evidence. It is posted here as gospel at least twice a month.

I would assume that the certificates still exist, if anyone who has them remembers that they do and is young enough to go to a game. On the other hand, unless Bama plays at Legion Field again none of them give a tinker's damn about it.

The fact is that those seats are used as general admission seats at every game we play. They *may* nnot be sold as season ticket seats, but then again they just may... and no one says boo about it.

Except BnB.


The deed restrictions on Young Field are a much more active and pressing issue so far as using it to build on, much like the restrictions on what can be done to homes that have been designated historical.

#1 - The Stadium Certificates were and are "good" in perpetuity - forever - for ANY football game played at Legion Field. As long as UAB does not sell those designated seats until after the restricted time expires, there is no problem. As I recall the restricted times are for the West stands and gold seats - before 30 days before any game and for the (older) east stands - before 7 days before any game. [BTW, Our friend T.C. Cannon owns two and there are about 1,600 others who own the rest - they were bought up by major businesses like Crawford Johnson (Coca-Cola) back when AU and UA played there for $2,000 to $3,000 each.]

To sell tickets for these seats in violation of the SC contracts is breaking the law, but if no one cares, like with any law breaking, it doesn't result in legal actions. I don't think UAB is going to risk that possibility.

I think I'll go sit in one of those gold seats next fall and see if anyone runs me out of it.
