This is all we can afford and it will suit us well and progress this community. It's this or nothing. Dome is not happening period. We can build this facility to be the biggest and best it can be for the money and be state of the art. This renovation and addition is sorely needed to keep us relevant in the entertainment industry not even thinking about UAB. Now factor us in and it puts us on another level recruiting and for future expansion.

We all need to pull in the same direction.

You are, as usual, very perceptive about where we are today regarding a new stadium. TWENTY years ago we had the chance to build an MPF to rival any facility in the southeast. As Marlon Brando's character might have said, "We could have been a contender". The choices that were made have now left us in 2018 with the "BJCC stadium or nothing". Our hopes in that regard are that the final designs for the new stadium will be "fan centric" state of the art modern, and not just a smaller version of what we already have. We won't know for sure until all our ducks are lined up, and the needed money is on the table.

The worst that can happen for UAB is to be stuck in Legion Field for another 2 or 3 decades instead of playing in a new facility. Either way, UAB will be assured to have a place to play.
