It requires an act of Congress to have a cemetary removed. Doubtful they move it any time soon. Not without a serious need to do so.

That cemetery at UA needs to go. It's an eyesore and is hampering development along Bryant Dr.



Wow

Doesn't Tennessee store samples from UT's cadaver farm INSIDE a storage room at Neyland Stadium?

Also, LSU's Death Valley is situated in the valley just below a pair of (possible) burial mounds:

There's a bunch of unidentified Civil War soldiers buried near by. If I recall there used to be markers for the graves, but the person who was doing the upkeep forgot to map where each marker was when he took them up to mow the place.

We used to store whole cadavers underneath Neyland not just samples. Corpse preparation was often done there. That said, we stopped doing that a while back. However, not all bodies for the body farm are stored on the farm because of the nature of some of the experiments/environments necessary to study decomposition.

Bama has the cemetery across the street from the stadium as well as a slave cemetery elsewhere on campus.

There also is (was?) a grave by the biology building.

That's across campus from the stadium for those who do not know Bama's campus.

Fun fact: not only is there a cemetery adjacent to the stadium, but so is an old observatory.

That's what I'm talking about. I think there's 3 graves there of former slaves of the University.

How exactly do you plan they do that? Call up family and tell them to come pick up their deceased loved ones because they are making room for more game day condos?


They might also want to do something about the 2 looney bins right next to campus.

First of all, obsession noted.

Secondly, we actually do. Bojangles and Bernies Chicken right outside the stadium.

Arkansas used have one on campus a block from the stadium but it was moved at some point in the distant past. Not sure if they left the bodies and only moved the headstones.

Oconee Hill Cemetery in the shadow of Sanford stadium, where the UGA Football Letterman's Club has its annual BBQ and weekly tailgates:







And, of course, our Mausoleum inside the stadium for all the past Uga's:
