Certainly dispels the rumor, or argument, or whatever you want to call it, that the South end zone can not be expanded because of Bryant Drive. I never did believe that was an issue.
Has more to do with the cemetary than Bryant Drive.
Key to my comment is "can not be expanded". Are you saying that the South end zone CAN NOT BE EXPANDED because of the cemetery?
I'm not saying it can't, only that it would be very hard. Notice how much room had to be cleared out for the North end zone expansion... They would have to build something that would go over the road, making a parking deck almost for all the material.
Thanks for your remarks. I take it you are refering to the room needed to work and place materials, rather than the actual space needeed for the expansion. In that regard, the cemetery would come into play. Surely these concerns will be addresed in the construction contract. If not, then we can only hope that whoever gets the bid will not only care about getting the job done, but will also care about Bama while doing the job. Bama has weathered everything the media has ever thrown at them, and need I say that has been extensive. But I don't know if they could ovecome what the media would do to them if they tore up a cemetery while expanding the football stadium.
