If Birmingham can build a stadium, great. They need to find a way of funding the project without state money (OUR money) because it's simply not there. With a metro population of over a million, yes they should have a decent stadium and should be able to find a way to do it on their own. Tearing down Legion field, selling it for scrap and selling the land there would be a start, assuming demolition and cleanup didn't eat up the money. It likely would but it needs to be done anyway. The city is making a turnaround and could do better if the politicians get out of the way.
