    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Dana McGough 205-368-5741 [email protected] BJCC MARKS TOPPING OUT OF PROTECTIVE STADIUM (Birmingham, AL, December 8, 2020) — Last week the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC) marked a key milestone in the construction of Protective Stadium with a “topping out” celebration. A topping out marks the ceremonial placement of the last steel beam in a construction project. Protective Stadium’s modified topping out celebration was designed to adhere to Alabama’s “Safer-at-Home” order. One-by-one over the course of three days, city and county leaders and corporate partners signed a construction beam stationed at Uptown. Once signed, the beam was lifted by crane and fastened to the support structure for Protective Stadium’s score board. Construction on the 45,000-capacity stadium began in late 2019 and is scheduled to conclude in Fall 2021 for the UAB Football season. Protective Stadium will be the Home of UAB Blazers Football. “It was important for us to mark this construction milestone, albeit a little differently than we would have,” said Tad Snider, executive director and CEO, BJCC Authority. “Protective Stadium is a public-private partnership, with many entities working together to produce a world-class facility for Birmingham. The topping out honors those partnerships while demonstrating the project’s significant progress.” CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS BY THE NUMBERS • 3,700,000 pounds of rebar tied • 26,000 cubic yards of concrete placed • 150,000 square feet of elevated concrete • 130,000 blocks of cubic masonry units • 160,000 feet of conduit hung • 14,600 feet of pipe • 31,000 linear feet of concrete seating • 8,500 feet of ductwork “Protective Stadium’s construction has moved forward smoothly and on schedule,” said Dennis Lathem, chairman, BJCC Board of Directors.

    Greater Birmingham Convention & Visitors Bureau Birmingham AREA Development New interstates, entertainment districts, and the new Protective Stadium are highlights of the many developments underway in and around the convention complex in Birmingham Birmingham does not sit still long. It is our nature to be progressive and to build toward a future that enhances quality of life for both residents and visitors. Here are just a few of the many projects in the works in a city that is on the move: The I-20/59 Bridge Demolition and replacement of the aging interstate bridges through downtown is complete, giving a vibrant new entryway into the city. It is almost impossible to drive through downtown at night without noticing the aesthetic lighting added to the new bridge work. LED ribbon lighting along the edges of the bridge adds dramatic effect to the structure and has been an instant hit with drivers on that route. CityWalk BHM Planned in tandem with the bridge reconstruction, a massive 31-acre park beneath I-59-20 is well underway. The linear park will serve as a gathering space for visitors and for the community, with a quarter-mile walking trail and fields for sports activities. A large central water feature will be the backdrop for activities such as public art displays. Stages are planned for outdoor concerts, and spaces for marketplaces are part of the project as is a beer and wine garden. A visitors center just across from CityWalk will welcome tourists with maps, brochures, information, and other helpful materials. All these plans are expected to be in place by the time the city hosts The World Games 2022 in July of next year.
