They should have done that earlier at the height of Bama's dominance. Kind of striking out on the downside of the gold rush.


This. They should have done this 10 years ago. Bama fans wouldn't be able to cash those SSI and disability checks fast enough.

I forget that most SEC towns have a large black population.

Have you been to Alabama? The baptists won’t even let us have a lottery.

The voters passed medical cannabis 2 or 3 years ago, and the State has been dragging its feet almost off. It’ll be another 3 or 4 years until full implementation. This is one backwards arse state when it comes to shite like that.

Jeez, talk about not knowing your customer base. SI? Who gives a goddamn.

Brand that SOB as the first Waffle House mega resort. Damn thing would be a license to print money.

I’d go…

Don't most Alabama fans/alums live within an hour or so of Tuscaloosa? Birmingham is kinda right nearby, gonna be hard to get a ton folks to stay in a resort hotel when home is an hour away.

I remember having a sports illustrated subscription as a kid and the issue came out with the painted on bikinis.

Snached that outta the mailbox real quick and hid it under my mattress

Building this now is like Elon Musk buying Twitter right before the tech speculation market dried up due to Fed Reserve interest rate hikes. Nick Saban looks old and busted, may retire by the end of this season, and non-alumni fan interest likely to decrease a fair bit.

Biloxi was supposed to get one of those 2 years ago. Still empty field. Hope it pans out. Tuscaloosa needs something.

Not really. We got plenty of luxury condos and hotels. You know how they’re luxury? They cost more.
