Now for those of you labeling me a Birmingham apologist, hold on a minute. Having the Tide's biggest home game of next season on campus is a big plus. But just this once, permit me to voice my compliments to the Graceful Lady of Greymont Avenue. It was in that stadium where I watched Cornelius Bennett dissect Steve Beurlein. Certainly, there will be things I won't miss.
Traffic is one.
Uncomfortable seats is another. A scoreboard that has never worked properly. The worst PA system in captivity. Many people have disparaged the neighborhood surrounding the stadium, but in the twenty years I've been going, I've met only pleasant, appreciative people. Many of the houses surrounding the stadium depend on the revenue from parking cars.
