When my Dad was driving me from Louisiana to Florida, we passed by City of Birmingham on the highway 10 and the city is beautiful.

University of Alabama at Birmingham is near the city. Isn't UAB going to get an NBA style Basketball arena? What about their new football stadium?

What was the deal between Alabama BOT and UAB football team 2014/15 when they almost cancelled the program?

Is University of Alabama just politically superior than UAB? And they can control everything about UAB? Heck no...

Just some post about our past CUSA mate. Birmingham is definitely interesting...

Maybe we can put a new spin on this. With their new stadium should Birmingham create a new mega G5 bowl with the MW champ vs CUSA champ? Maybe something like that can salvage the thread.

Isn't it surprising that Birmingham has the largest TV viewers in the entire country for College Football? Are they all Bama fans? lol

Bunch of em are. They seem to be Bama fans first---then SEC fans second. The new stadium will be very nice. Unfortunately, UAB football has had its troubles drawing much support from Birmingham.
There was a wonderful burst of support that saved the program when it was temporarily killed a few years ago----but the way UAB football attendance slowly trended downward over the course of a division winning 9-win 2019 season is troubling if you are looking at UAB's long term support potential.

Established in 1931, The Birmingham Airport has been welcoming travelers to The Magic City and serving as Central Alabama’s gateway to the sky for more than 80 years. Governed by the Birmingham Airport Authority since its establishment in 1986, the airport has evolved into a catalyst for growth and economic development for the entire Birmingham region. In 2008, the airport was renamed Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport to honor the world-changing legacy of late Birmingham civil rights activist Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth. In 2014, the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport completed its $201.6 million terminal modernization. The state’s largest airport in terms of passenger traffic, BHM hosts four airlines with service to nearly 400 unique destinations, connecting Birmingham globally, with as little as one stop.

You didn't answer the question, and I didn't see a single international destination on the list. But perhaps I missed something.
