Interesting to see WTOL and Coach Babers raving about the football stadium at Alabama State. According to Wikipedia, Alabama State's stadium was completed in 2012. it seats 26,500-seat but could be expanded with more construction to 55,000.

Sounds nice.

FWIW, it also sounds like what the Doyt was to become originally...was to have a 2 nd deck to double seating etc. IIRC ... Now we can't come clase to filling the current facility.

Part of the reason UAB disappeared was because they had to start upgrading facilities and they didn't want to put money into it.

It's very nice, I have been to it. I visited Montgomery shortly after they built it doing a movie location tour for the movie Big Fish which was filmed in the area (the town of Spectre they used is nearby at Jackson Lake and Huntingdon College was used in place of Auburn in the movie). Their old stadium was a complete dump but their new one would easily rank right up there at the top of the MAC. I have also been to the Cramton Bowl too. It was also renovated recently. It's a so-so facility right on the edge of downtown but is much nicer than before the renovations were done.

That has crossed my mind, as well as the unspoken implication. But they were in a really bad spot. Weren't parts of Legion Field basically condemned, or something?

They had to remove the upper deck on the one side as it was thought to be on the verge of collapsing. Legion Field is also located in a not-so-pleasant area.

Not sure if anyone even cares about this game, is anybody even going? We plan on going as long as the weather is good. Not going to sit in the rain though.

I don't know much about USA but I imagine they have decent speed. I would expect them to spread the field and pick us apart like WKU did. I can't say I expect a win after the last three games. Even if the defense plays well they will be hung out to dry by our falconbust offense.

I'll be there. Fly to Atlanta Saturday morning and a two hour drive to Montgomery. Rain or not, it's BG football and there are 12 (or 14) times a year that I get to watch it. The last 3 games have been disappointing. But I've bought into the Bo Pelini philosophy expressed earlier this year that each week is its own momentum. I think that's the case, almost without any exception, across the country at every level of football.

Bring on kickoff.

We're driving down that way tomorrow afternoon. Plan on going to that alumni tailgate they are having right now.

Go BG!
