Birmingham business group's study shows BJCC best site for dome
sstewart@bhamnews.com Fri, 29 Aug 2008 18:19:00 -0000
A site next to the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex downtown remains the best location to build a domed stadium, an independent study of several sites concluded. The report, sponsored by the Birmingham Business Leadership Group was delivered today Mayor Larry Langford. Langford in January asked the group to lead a study to determine the best of several possible sites for a dome. Locations under evaluation are the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex, the Birmingham Race Course and Legion Field. Langford had favored land near the Birmingham Race Course as the best location for the project, but said he would abide by the independent study. Business leaders have favored the location near the BJCC. An evaluation separate from the city or the BJCC board would ensure an independent finding, the mayor said. The business group paid for the study. The study considered the merits of the three sites only from a business perspective. Heery International Inc, an Atlanta-based engineering and construction management firm led the study along with Texas-based Conventions, Sports & Leisure International, a company specializing in site analysis for sports and event centers.
