DAMN!...FOUR posts in a row!
That hit a nerve.
TRUTH:
Bryant was deep into the pocket of Birmingham alumni(that's where most of the money and prestige came from). Not only were the B'ham folks TOTALLY against a move, but blocked moves to both increase capacity @ Bryant-Denny, AND to build a new stadium east of the campus on state property with easy access (McFarland Blvd.) to the interstate highways!
Hell, when Coach Bryant died B-D stadium would only hold 60,000 people!
After he passed, control came back more to Tuscaloosa. Do you think that out-of-town folks wanted to have to go to one of B'ham's most dangerous sections, be extorted over parking places, AND have a helluva time getting back out and on the road?...Man, PLEASE!

Drove past the one on the way to Orange Beach when it was being built. I told my wife that there was no way they could use all those gas pumps.

We went by it a month after it opened. There were lines at most of the pumps.
Bathrooms were spotless. The employees were all smiling and glad to see you. And a wide selection of eats. I say two thumbs up.
