Hopefully they have space for at least one small screen using older technology that can show just one green dot. We depend on that ominous green dot for intimidation purposes.

That dot at Legion Field haunted me during my time at Auburn and then followed me to Birmingham lol.

Someone I know who lives in Norwood says residents have been told at community meetings that there is a plan to use the parking decks at the old Carraway Hospital and shuttle people from there to the stadium.

The free parking on campus has worked great for us. The price is right, and the wait times aren't that bad.

QFT. Now if we lose every game at the new stadium we know who first mentioned the green dot.

RE: Stadiums first big concrete pour is happening now
I've been planning to park at the BJCC deck. It may not work for any of the huge games but I've been to a few sold out basketball games at Legacy and even then didn't have trouble parking there.

How is that going to work with someone buying Carraway and redeveloping it

Wow, it got three stories taller over the weekend. Most of the piers for the upper deck look prepared as well.

Let there be light! The first stadium light stand is up in the northwest corner. Another big southwest corner concrete pour looks likely in the next few days.

Middle section at ground-level seems to be in preparation for a major pour soon...

Another concrete pour last night, this time on the southeast portion. Also it appears that they are installing some 'prefab' concrete seating rows in certain areas of the bowl.
