Tulane has so many alumni that are from out of state and then move back away.
Of course eventually attendance is is determined by W’s and L’s

Size of it isn't just for UAB. It is for the bowl game, plus concerts and stuff like that. They plan on using it for a lot of entertainment events.

As an AU grad with zero ties to UAB, I’d absolutely go to Thursday or Friday night games and support the Blazers.
Exactly. I'm going to all Auburn games and they take precedent. I have no ties to UAB besides being from Bham, but if I could get two games a season that are a thursday or friday, i'd buy season tickets in a heartbeat.

I’m excited for the future of Uptown.
Same. The beer/wine garden will hopefully be a pretty cool addition with the City Walk. There is a lot right next to Top Golf that I think they could easily put another bar & restaurant in too.

Once the newness of stadium wears off they will average 10-20k
The City of Birmingham is chipping in for 1,000 tickets a game at face value to help it looked filled out.

I noticed that Shipt had not one but two building name rights downtown bham

When they shut the program down, I didn't think I could hate Bama any more. Then I found out Paul Bryant Jr was one of the biggest UA system voters responsible for shutting them down. Glad to see them back and being successful.
