Have you seen the warehouse Bama plays in? Colman Coliseum literally looks like an airplane storage hanger you would see on a flight line. While I don’t like UK in any sport, they do have a nicer and bigger arena than Bama does.


And Nate has said over and over that while he looks forward to Alabama building a new arena one day the team spends very little time there and the facilities they actually use (practice gym, weight room, training table, nutrition area, etc.) are as good as any place in the country.

building a new arena one day

As long as Greg Byrne is your AD, I don’t think it happens. He let $70 million increase in price, stop them from building a new arena. With the economy and the world we live in, the prices for everything is going to be high and will not go back to pre Covid prices.
Only way Oats gets a new arena is leaving, unless Byrne gets a sudden change of heart. MBB is a major sport and he is afraid to spent the money. You have schools like Tennessee are spending $95 million alone on Baseball upgrades/renovations to the stadium. I would hate to know that I had an AD that was scared to spend money.

Ask yourself this? If it was football, would he let $70 million stop him from completing football upgrades?
