We're a Coke school now? I thought it will be Pepsi.

WE (UAB) don't own the rights for what that stadium puts in it concession wise

Okay

Okay

You can bet there will be plenty of alcohol to be had

It's called Jack & Coke. Not Jack & Pepsi.

That's should be it for gate signs

Only 11 of those 503 seats in Section 125 remain unsold.

Once the seats are are in these sections the stadium will appear done. Its been fun watching the process. Gonna be more fun to watch some Blazer football there real soon!

Inside and out of the stadium

Any idea when we'll learn the local food vendors selected?

This thread has more pics of the stadium than the official Twitter page

We need an updated fly-by vid. Lotsa improvements since that Twitter post.

Can’t let season ticket holders see the installed seats. Will be asking why they can’t get the 6th home game they paid for.

there is a lot more involved in getting a stadium ready than seats.

South Alabama managed to have theirs ready before a 3rd of the season is over.

There sure are, but they are putting the finishing touches in the stadium now. Protective will be complete in weeks, not months.

It was just unfortunate that a BJCC official publicly stated an October completion earlier in the year. While the construction peeps were maintaining their forecast of a mid-summer completion.

Barring any issues with the "mass toilet test", the stadium is going to be ready to go well before October.

USA's stadium is an erector set compared to Protective.

Some of our folks make it hard to be a fan

It's like Charlie Brown grew up and became the womp-womp teacher, ain't it? But he still tries to kick that football.

There is more to a stadium than seats but what do I know? Some are not happy unless they are miserable and complaining.
