Holy Crap...

Everything looks amazing. Love the new courtside student section.

That was a really good presentation. I'm glad to see Coleman finally getting an upgrade.

agree with that. many nfl stadiums do and it helps the experience



Texas A&M did when I went there last year as well. I think Miss State may have too, but I can't recall.

They can’t fill up BDS as it is now. They’re getting more tickets back from opposing teams than ever before. Game attendance is down nationally because TV viewing is so much better than it used to be. No point in staying above 100,000 anymore.

Sure there is, bragging rights. We're the University of Alabama, under no circumstance should we below the top 4 in SEC attendance.

Per Cecil Hurt's tweet, Greg Byrne says renovated Coleman will seat between 9,500 and 10,100.

Would be awesome, but I don't think we can get the field wide enough in the corners.

I like it, but this would surely put BDS back under 100k ?

Not sure how I feel about the jumbotron cut into the upper deck of the student section. Seems a little strange. Replacing that entire section with an even bigger jumbotron would look better.

Field expansion to soccer size. That can be part of the renovation

Bryant-Denny getting a WC game has about the same chance as Birmingham getting the Olympics.
