[BJCC Expansion plans]

NBC13 reported last night, the cost is $650 million dollars... NOW. If any excessive delays are encountered, the cost could rise by a millon dollars a month. I don't live in Birmingham, but I did for years, and I still live in the region, and I just can't put my support behind this. This money should be going for transit and other things and not some white elephant on the side of the freeway.

I hate to say this, but I hope this project is killed. There are too many other things that need to be done right now. This can always be revisited in another couple of decades. Maybe by then, there will actually be a need for it.

Birmingham needs things, and this isn't one of them. Light rail anyone?

I totally agree...not about the Light Rail (way too expensive and Birminghamsters won't use it anyway) but I agree the Dome should NOT be built. With all that is wrong with Bham, this Dome is the Last thing it needs. Use the money for education, for revitalizing downtown in the right way, etc., but don't built a money drain - Bham will NEVER get a real pro sports team.
