Might as well have kept this pos. Don't forget Veterans' Memorial in Jackson, MS. Second only to Liberty Bowl in terms of having your car broken into while you watch the game.

Wasn’t the Tad Pad having roof leaks toward the end of its major usage?
Forgot about Mississippi Vets. I’ve driven by. Just looks like a typical old concrete stadium.

Been to a couple of Hogs vs Ole Miss games there in the 80's. I was a young tot, but I remember the games. We were the smart bunch of our family (Hog fans), and we always would go with the other side of the family (Ole Miss fans). Hogs were always winners in those games when I was younger. I think our downturn in football began in '89 or '90.

I really liked the Tad Pad. It had an old school, HS gym flavor to it. Incredible student section and no seperation between stands and court. Loud and a huge home court advantage.
They could have easily just upgraded the lighting and plugged some leaks.
The Pavillion is awesome, but it feels more like a concert venue than a college BB arena.

Needs to be torn down and moved to a better part of Bham if that can be found. But, I did like the "neutral" site IB better.

I went Bama vs Ole Miss in Jackson in 80 and back for the 6-3 loss to Miss State that same year. Long long ride back to Montgomery after that State loss.
