When the new multi-purpose stadium is constructed in downtown Birmingham, it will be called “Protective Stadium” thanks to a 15-year agreement announced today between Protective Life Corporation and the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex.
“It’s a real exciting day,” said Tad Snider, executive director of the BJCC. “It’s the next step in what’s going to be a project for this community that everyone can be excited about.”
“Protective Stadium is a testament to the many local leaders, companies and entities across the community who have come together to accomplish a goal,” said Rich Bielen, president and CEO of Protective Life. “Together, with this stadium, Birmingham’s future is bright.”New renderings of the stadium were also released today. The facility will be located just east of the current BJCC facilities between TopGolf and the Uptown entertainment district.
