So a friend of mine says this is being done by a firm out of Birmingham (where he is from). He says the project manager has promised him the entire expansion will be littered with Bama stuff embedded in the construction walls.

WTF would we get a co out of Bhm to do an expansion of Tiger Stadium?

This isn't entirely true, as I do not know about the company out of Birmingham they might have just gotten a small potion of the project. Because I know some local companies that are also involved in the project.

If Saban was embedded that would be cool.

The GC is a joint venture between a company out of Alabama and a Lafayette company.

I spoke with a high level TAF employee yesterday, and she said this expansion is going to happen. She hates football so I can't see her lying about this.

I actually would love to see that happen.
1. IMO a free pass to make "visual Improvements" to UA campus.
2. LSU would Probably sue the company.
3. Built in "motivation" for future LSU teams.

1) The expansion was announced months ago so of course it's going to happen.
b) TAF has a high level employee that hates football?

It is. Brasfield Gorrie. BTW, a very respectful construction company. Been in the industry for 25+ years. Good friend is a senior manager there (in Atlanta office). It is a joint venture with Brasfield taking the lead.

that's great but the fact remains that 95% of her job still concerns the football program, must be hard for her to go to work everyday if she hates football
