RE: BBJ: How big will dome be? Mayor Bell shares new details on project
Scheduling for UAB football is done by the conference for those games. Then there are the OOC games each year worked into the conference schedule. Which games today are granted priority when UAB is finalizing its full schedule? Working with the city and the MPF should be no different.
What if, for instance, in April UAB has a game scheduled for a Saturday in Oct. for the MPF, but ESPN comes along in the summer and offers a Thursday slot on national TV if we will agree to move from that Sat.? We would want the city to help us by making whatever possible accommodations needed to do this. That is what PARTNERS IN PROGRESS do to help each other.
If B'ham has a major national convention scheduled for a particular weekend? UAB would be expected to work around that weekend by scheduling an away game. Aren't such major conventions scheduled at least a year in advance? It would seem to me to be a workable problem if UAB & B'ham are speaking with respect to each other regularly.
