quote:One of the reasons the PTB may want to keep the stadium at its present spot is because of the history.
I was hoping to see a brand new stadium in a location over-looking the river.
It's named for Joe Sewell, former Bama baseball player and head coach, who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown in 1977.
Also, the New York Yankees played an exhibition game at Bama in the stadium back in the 1978.
Reggie Jackson actually played at the Joe.
Bert Bank, Billy Martin, George Steinbrenner and Paul Bryant are seen prior to the 1978 exhibition game between Alabama and the New York Yankees at Sewell-Thomas Field in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

I hate the Yankees but I never know about that. That's cool.
Still would rather have a field by the river
