BIRMINGHAM – It has been exactly 11 months since Brasfield & Gorrie was awarded the full contract as the General Contractor of Protective Stadium, and their rapid progress has kept the timeline on pace for UAB Football's new home in 2021.
In November alone, the project has kicked into high gear with the stadium beginning to take clear shape. Below are some of the highlights throughout the past month.
