Talks of multi-million dollar stadium to replace Birmingham's Legion Field
- Thread starter JustNeedMe81
- Start date
Suggestion: Get the money up front. Otherwise, we will likely see the first coliseum in history to be repossessed.
Unless the city of Bham and Jefferson county get new and better elected leadership, I would never support this.
I say bring it on. Uptown has been a success and has been handled properly. I don't have much faith in leadership, but I have faith in the people of Bham to support something like this. The soccer game was awesome, for instance, but embarrassing to have something like that at THE DUMP.
Maybe we can move the Iron Bowl back where it belongs. I wonder what Awbarn boosters would do with 22,500 tickets split 3 ways.
I don't see it ever moving back to B'Ham & really don't want to see it moved back there myself..That's going to be the home of UAB & wouldn't be near big enough to hold just the Bama Fans at the game..Not going to hapeen..I hope not anyways,..
I think most of the major bond issuers are going to be a little reluctant to do business with Jefferson County. Be great if it could happen.
Instead of building it downtown move it out of the city like somewhere off of 459. Would have more room for parking and also a safer environment .
I have no interest in having any Bama games in B'ham. Let UAB have it and we'll have a better atmosphere in T-Town.
But, but you don't understand... they deserve it, because reasons. And just imagine all the things you can do with a 45,000 capacity stadium. You could host bowl games no one cares about in it!
Anyway, you are correct. The state legislator should play no role on this. I'm not planning on going to any games there, what team that I'd want to see would play in a 45K capacity stadium? As such, why on earth should I pay?
I agree! Why PUNISH tax payers in Mobile, Huntsville, Gadsden, Wetumpka, Montgomery, Dothan, Gardendale, Fultondale, Jacksonville, Cullman, Anniston, Decatur, Florence, etc. just to be able to build/fund a 45,000 seat stadium in Birmingham.
If Birmingham wants a new stadium, let the people of Birmingham who want it fund it.
Why????????????????? Don't some of those people already pay a 10% tithe in sales taxes in some locations?
Does Alabama have a Think Tank regarding how to gouge more out of the people of Alabama?
The Iron Bowl will not be played in a 45k seat stadium. Why spend 100 Million on a high school stadium?
A stadium like this one pretty much always improves the fortunes of its college football team. Exhibit A: SMU...
Maybe UAB should just rent Auburns stadium when Aubarn play away. At the rate they are going Aubarn is going to need a new revenue stream to pay for the head coach buy out and all the empty seats.
