This was about 6 weeks ago:Different subject but how is the construction coming with that new stadium in Birmingham?
Looks like they have a long way to go...
Houston. TSU fans don't even come out to their games. However, they would have got great rates in Houston with the way oil is headed and all the consolidating of smaller oil companies.so the SWAC office will be stuck in Bham instead of moving to Houston, New Orleans, or Jackson like many on this board wished for..ok got it!

Winning cures all evil -
Offer was on the table several years ago to move to Houston by the current mayor. Had office space and everything for them - past leadership didn’t move on it.
City of Houston makes offer to move SWAC headquarters here
The City of Houston has made an offer to the Southwestern Athletic Conference to move its headquarters from Birmingham, Ala. to Houston.www.google.com
Houston - The City of Houston has made an offer to the Southwestern Athletic Conference to move its headquarters from Birmingham, Ala. to Houston.
“We’re trying to move them here from Alabama and set them up in the city of Houston,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner in an interview with FOX 26 Sports.
That was the problem, duer sharp at the helm.I think the HQ building looks good, and has enough size to meet our needs, and allows for expansion in future endeavors. I'd like to see more SWAC ambiance on both the outside and inside of the building that let's you know you're entering SWAC-land, but overall big props.
Some of y'all really need to come off of this Houston obsession. It's in Birmingham were it belongs, because Birmingham has offered the best package and incentives for our conference that no other city has been willing to match. I'd rather be in a city that caters to our needs than one that will more often than not, take advantage or have us operating in the red. It's not even up for debate anymore. The numbers have already bore themselves out when Duer Sharp was at the helm. Get over it!
It clearly wasnt an adequate offer. Knowing Houston, it probably was half assed. McClelland seems to be fine with Birmingham.
As a Texas Southern Alum, I know we can't make claims about big nice facilities when we have Memorial park, MacGregor park and Dudley as D1 facilities.It's nice but why it look like they converted somebody's house into a headquarters.

Right, we're land-locked and regularly win SWAC championships against the other nine conference member schools right from those parks.
Lol....Brother Earle I'm well aware of your alma mater's athletic success. Your zeal and enthusiasm for your school is admirable.More than any other SWAC institution, the Souithern Jaguars have been contenders for championships in the 4 major sports of football, men's basketball. women's basketball, and baseball in recent years. SU consistently vie for the SWAC football championship, and for the previous 2 years
has been Western Division champions. Just last year, men's basketball came within 1 game of a tie for the conference championship. Women's basketball was SWAC champs in 2019 and runner-ups in 2020, and consistently contend for the conference queenpin. Our baseball progreen is the reigning champions, and looking ahead appears to be the team to beat in SWAC. Some SWAC schools are strong in one major sport or the other and weak in all the rest, but SU has been strong in all the major sports and is always in the conversation. And we are the only school that can stake that claim!
Im not familiar with street names... but its in the old BJCC parking lot right between the BJCC and Top Golf.I see 22nd Street, can anybody tell me the other intersecting street it? Just curious.
Does this also indicate a possible move for the SWAC Championship game moving back to Bham?
OR is it going to remain in Houston?
