BIRMINGHAM – With just under five months until the Blazers play their inaugural game in Protective Stadium, the UAB Department of Athletics has launched a commercial scheduled to run on local television throughout the spring and summer.
Focused on what UAB and the City of Birmingham are building collectively with the BJCC, the commercial's theme is directed towards Protective Stadium belonging to an entire city that has come together to make the new home of UAB Football possible.
"Before we could build, we had to belong. Now we're building something that belongs to all of us. Built with stronger stuff than steel and stone. Built to be here, for good. This year, our address changes, but this has always been home."
The Blazers play their first game in Protective Stadium on Oct. 2 vs. Liberty, who finished the 2020 season ranked No. 17. Other home games include Florida Atlantic (Oct. 9), Rice (Oct. 23), Louisiana Tech (Nov. 6) and UTEP (Nov. 27).
UAB Football season tickets for the inaugural season at Protective Stadium are on sale starting as low as $75. New 2021 season ticket holders who complete their purchase following the April 1, 2021 priority seat deadline but prior to May 15, 2021 will pick their season ticket and parking locations in late May following the conclusion of the currently scheduled seat selection appointments for fans that committed prior to the deadline.
The Blazers return 17 starters from last year's championship team. UAB has won 34 games since returning to action in 2017, which is the most of any team in Conference USA during that time. UAB has won the C-USA West Division three straight years and the has claimed the conference title in two of the past three seasons.
