A new arena will come at some point.
I know a location has been proposed, but I think UA and Tuscaloosa should consider the University Mall as a location. I believe that location has a 40-year lease with 5 or less years remaining. The property is owned by the State of AL Mental Health Board, so it is state owned. The mall is dying, the infrastructure is there such as roads and utilities, and it is a prime location. A multipurpose arena that could host games, shows, and concerts as you leave the interstate and head towards campus could provide many benefits. Additionally, Midtown Village and The Shoppes at Legacy Park are within walking distance. Many places on 15th are close.

They've been talking about building one for most of my 40 or so years. They are going to let that thing fall down first.
