It doesn’t take much to get Bill Clark talking about Protective Stadium. On a recent Monday morning in Birmingham, the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) football coach and some prominent friends shared their excitement over the new home of the Blazers, which is rapidly transforming from construction site to multipurpose mecca ready for kickoff later this year.
Clark likes to say “there are a million heroes” who helped make this long-awaited stadium come to life.

Jabo Waggoner.
