At Tiger Stadium, bleachers in the east, north and west sections of the lower bowl have deteriorated and will either be replaced or reinstalled depending on their condition, David said. The south section will not be treated because maintenance was done two years ago. The process starts with the removal of all bleachers in the aforementioned areas, David said. The concrete where the bleachers were removed will then be cleaned and waterproofed. David said waterproofing involves application of a topical coating to the concrete.

The replacement or reinstallation of the bleachers will complete the project, making for sturdier seating on gamedays while protecting the concrete structure of the stadium for long-term use. These precautions will be complete before the first home game of the coming season on Sept. 6, David said. They will amount to $1.6 million.

Funny how Bama was criticized and made fun of for drawing capacity or near capacity crowds, but it becomes a bragging point when other schools draw good sized crowds.

Seems to be a little hypocrisy at work here.

I see. I knew there was some construction going on. I didn't know it was THAT extensive. The stadium has been around forever. It probably needed a facelift. Bet it'll be nice when completed.
