I agree! I think the current and most likely plan on the drawing board is to build a 40K open air stadium for UAB at the BJCC financed primarily via private and business support.Birmingham has been talking about building a dome since the 90’s, including the proposal for the MAPS project that included the building of a dome, but the Bham citizens voted against it. To that end, I don’t think Bham will ever get a dome.

The new stadium will seat 55k and has already been approved.

Good question!!!! But I think it's best to find another college or city owned stadium for the MCC. NFL stadiums are to expensive and have to many damn rules especially when it comes to tailgating. Especially the newer ones..If UAB gets the 40k seat stadium and Legion Field closes or gets torn down, then what will happen to the Magic City Classic? A 40k seat stadium is not large enough to hold the MCC attendance. Could it possibly move to Atlanta, Nashville, etc? Also, I think having the MCC at the school’s campuses would destroy the game and tradition.
I'm sure a lot of ppl have been giving that considerable thought considering the annual financial impact on the City's and local economy from the game, tailgating and associated events. I'm sure they will extend the life of "The Old Gray Lady" as long as possible.A 40k seat stadium is not large enough to hold the MCC attendance. Could it possibly move to Atlanta, Nashville, etc?

But the TSU folks told us that McClelland would never take the step down to become SWAC Commissioner.
PV Produces Productive People. Congrats.
We may not have a choice! Do you really think UAB will take the MCC into consideration when they know they have priority scheduling?If UAB gets the 40k seat stadium and Legion Field closes or gets torn down, then what will happen to the Magic City Classic?

Excellent choice. So does Kevin Granger get promoted from Assistant AD to the full position?
