    Stage, floor and section seating.
    Demetria R.

    Attending an event at this venue is better than being outside in the cold. Birmingham officials please renovate or remove this building. The seats are horrible. The space between rows is very uncomfortable. The seat is uncomfortable and the steps going up or down to seats are dangerous. I witnessed at least 3 people struggling to get out of their sections of seats. I've attended quite a few events at this place and the sound system is always a problem. I want to continue to support events at this venue but at what point will this place provide an enjoyable experience for the guest?

Tickets were half as much as they were in Atlanta so I drove to Birmingham for a mini-break! Parking can be pre-purchased online starting at $20 but there was a line of cars to enter so arrive early. Even though I had $25 nosebleed seats (shoutout to Live Nation's 1/2 off sale), the screens made it easy to see and the acoustics were great! Both performers were AMAZING! The line moved fairly quickly and I had no issues with security or staff (unlike State Farm). But an end row seat meant I had to frequently stand to to let people in. Patrons were super friendly. We all sang along to Maze's "Before I Let Go" as we exited. Rest in heaven Frankie Beverly.. I didn't order anything or use the restrooms so I can't comment on the amenities or food yet. But it was a pleasant experience. I recommend Legacy Arena BJCC and will return. Pics to come on my next visit!

    Wow, the BJCC has been around for a minute! It opened in 1976 and can seat up to 16,250 for…read moreconcerts. The late great John Denver performed the first concert at the BJCC coliseum (known today as the Legacy Arean) on Sept. 28, 1976! Growing up, the BJCC was a big entertainment destination because few and far between were the "great" entertainment acts who visited my hometown of Huntsville, AL. Over the years, I've seen lots of great acts at the BJCC, including Van Halen [pre Van Hagar days] numerous times starting in August 1981, the legendary The Who on November 30, 1982, Kid Rock numerous times, and attended an excellent Alanis Morisette show here! It's nice to have the Uptown Entertainment District nearby and the extensive modernization of the arena in 2020 enhanced the lighting and sound systems, concessions, and amenities for artists. Well done Majic City!

    I've been receiving a lot of heat lately from my followers all across the USA that I'm only…read morestopping by stadiums to take pictures, and not actually attending any of the games or events. Okay, okay. I hear your cries, it's understandable :) But am I trying to cheat the system or beat the honorable code? No, lol. I'm just a fan who appreciates sports. But now, here at Protective Stadium in downtown Birmingham, Alabama, I'm ready to change that narrative! Well...kinda...sorta :) Protective Stadium is home to college football's UAB Blazers. It was constructed in 2021 and it's practically a brand new venue. So you may be getting ready to raise a red flag and question that if I'm visiting in the middle of May, it's offseason for UAB's football program and there's nothing going on. But alas! Protective Stadium is also home to the UFL - United Football League's, Birmingham Stallions. And so, were the Stallions in town for a home football game against the Houston Roughnecks this past Saturday, May 18th? YES Was the game starting at 7pm? YES Were fans tailgating outside prior to kickoff? YES Were tickets for the game $10? YES Was Seth going to actually attend this UFL game??? YES! But...here's the thing:) No matter what, I had to do my pregame ritual walk around Protective Stadium, lol, and the clouds in the sky were quite ominous. When I checked the weather app, unfortunately, severe storms were heading towards Birmingham. And...this swayed me to skip the game. Oh wow, now fans may be shouting, "just another excuse, Seth":) Welp, I didn't drive all the way to Birmingham, Alabama to at least not tour the grounds. It's my certified duty and badge of honor to relay details and expectations about the layout and design of Protective Stadium! Here goes... The front entrance is highlighted by a large scoreboard sign saying, "Home of UAB Football" next to a fire breathing dragon. This dragon is UAB's mascot. Picture taking here was wonderful. You're surrounded by trees and grass and overall, this Legacy Plaza area in front of Protective Stadium is a great hangout. Plus, across the street offers an Uptown District of restaurants like Texas de Brazil, Casey's Sports Grill and Uptown Cantina. That leads me to say, Protective Stadium is located in downtown Birmingham and adjacent to the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex. You can take public transportation to and from games if you opt out of driving. Capacity is 47,000 seats but it appeared like it could hold more fans. Cost to build was $200 million. Wrapping around towards the left, you have the Stadium Club section or basically UAB's home team side. I give credit to the grounds crew, they had this plaza and the landscaping around it in pristine shape. The box office is located here but there were suggestions to download the app and purchase tickets online. The back section is where you'll find the Northeast Gate. This area opens up to the entire bowl of the stadium. You can't see down to the field from here, but you can view the stands and scoreboard and I would think you'd feel a sense of energy from the crowd. Finishing up the final side, there's not much to see other than a pedestrian pathway. Across the street offers parking and a Top Golf. There were signs warning fans not to park in the Top Golf lot for UAB or Stallions' games. And then it's back to the main entrance Legacy Plaza side with that awesome Protective Stadium scoreboard sign and fiery dragon hanging from high above. In the end, I was very impressed with the walk around experience. For a new multi-purpose complex that includes hosting MonsterJam Truck Shows, ability to have musical concerts and memorably was the site of The World Games opening and closing ceremonies in 2022, Protective Stadium is a terrific landmark of downtown Birmingham.

    First home game for the Birmingham Stallions and it was not a good game. The stadium is nice and…read morethere's not a bad seat in the stadium. The sound system was not very good. I understand the stadium is small, but they need another jumbo-tron for those sitting in front of the one that's there. Everyone was turning around to look at the replay of calls and infield activities. I would go back and sit in a different area.
