WHEN will their posthumous reign of terror on UAB's sale of football tickets END?

While the original owners are probably long dead, the certificates themselves were gradually consolidated by secondary purchases and/or inheritance and are very much alive legally. The Park Board said in their letter that about 1600 persons or businesses now owned the 2,500+ SCs which are legally binding on the city in perpetuity for all Legion Field football games. Apparently, few of that 1600 care a lot about UAB football, the Classic or the bowl game. I only know of two who regularly attend UAB games.

I assume that these are not separate unrelated instances in the grand scheme. Have the BOTs bought up the 1600 certificates so that our current students will now all quit UAB because the best seats are denied them - complete the BOT plot

One of the reported principal secondary purchasers of SCs during the time they were most valuable was the metro area Coca-Cola boss, and you know who his "great pair" friend (and his heir) was. Is it possible these folks were also into financing the "RAPS" movement back in 1998 in part to protect their investments in Legion Field? (every 100 SCs @ $3,000 each - 1970's money - equals $300,000.)

You are the only person concerned about these stupid stadium certificates. Somebody literally posted a picture of his seats in the area you can't have seats and stated those were the seats on his season tickets. Yet, that isn't enough. Nobody cares about the damn stadium certificates, can you please just drop it?

Also, why is great pair quoted? I'm confused. Are you quoting somebody?
