Terry and the others have hit on why the Iron Bowl will never "really" exist again, because of the money made for Alabama and Auburn in their home towns.
As far as the dome, it absolutely baffles me that the idiots running the city of Birmingham have not figured it out yet. Why not try and get the infrastructure in place, such as a mass transit system, before trying to get a money pit placed in the suck hole known as Birmingham? This jack-ass is hell bent on taxing the snot out of everybody that comes in contact with Jefferson County to insure that he gets this dome put in place. I hope that more and more businesses do as Red Diamond Tea company did. After 100 years in the same location off of Highway 79........they moved to St. Clair County. I hope that many more follow suit.
