iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Well a lot of the folks that go live in or near downtown bham so it would be quite a change for them. Before I moved out of state I was about 15 min from Protective, but 40 from Dunnavant Valley. Some folks are in the middle or even closer for sure, but I don't think it's the majority of fans

They definitely want to explore out there, at least as a temporary option. I don't think folks wanna be driving out to Chelsea long term. Also yeah rain is a much bigger issue there, I spent years refereeing on those fields and they get sloppy real quick when it rains.

Rumors are that Legion is working on a plan to leave as well. No idea where to but I'm begging them to use Lawson Field.

BJCC (mis)management is a way bigger issue than the stadium itself, but even if that wasn't a problem it would still be too dang big.

Its fine in terms of build quality, but concessions are way overpriced, getting in from the parking lots is a hike, especially if you're carrying drums and flags for soccer games, and it's just way too big for the level of support teams in bham currently have. Even UAB needs 30k seats max.

The Met is too busy in the spring and you can't serve alcohol at Samford. Birmingham Legion FC is running into a similar issue with finding a venue that isn't Protective Stadium, which does suck.

Just truly awful, awful refereeing in this one. No attempt at providing equal treatment to both teams.

Thought this team was different man 😔

Hate the way it was handled, but it's the correct decision at the end of the day and that's what matters!

VAR is the worst invention in sports

Insane decision. No way that’s a red card.

Doesn’t feel good

I’m glad the USMNT is doing well because Legion FC is making me sad

Drew @drewnelson.dev · 14/06/2026

Should have been a caution for simulation.

Drew @drewnelson.dev · 13/06/2026

Absolutely incredible start! Nothing else like this tournament man

Drew @drewnelson.dev · 13/06/2026

VAR being useful?? Wow

Never get tired of us launching rockets to space, man

Ah okay, well maybe one of them would have been better. But looking at the situation as it stands, I don’t think Mills is the better choice.

I’m not sure, I’m not an expert on everything the guy has done, there may be some evidence. He’s been an oyster farmer for several years now, which is an improvement from soldier. I’ll say the people in Maine seem to like him, so whatever he’s doing / saying there looks to be working for them.

Also, there’s not another progressive option in this race that I’m aware of. And based on polls, the people of Maine seem to really like Platner.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, I understand being cautious because of it. But personally, after watching the videos where he explains what happened with the tattoo and his other unsavory experiences, I feel like his mindset shift was genuine and really means the things he says now.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children. From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

At this difficult moment in American history, we must be honest with ourselves: Our nation, once the envy of the world, is now in profound decline. For the sake of our children and future generations, we must reverse course.

It is not good enough just to criticize Trump. We must offer a positive vision that will improve the lives of Americans

Where is the roster okay and where is it thin? Who could we maybe sign for the spots with the most need?

Drew @drewnelson.dev · 07/01/2026

Don't worry man, in 2026 the vibes will be very neutral - because the locker room will be empty unless we sign some players!

Drew @drewnelson.dev · 02/01/2026

Just bummed we couldn’t even compete in this game, man. Well deserved by Indiana, hope they win it all!

I mean these kids are just done man. Forfeit the rest of the game, why bother. They don’t care just write em a check.

Mack should have replaced Ty a while ago

No point in throwing checkdowns on 3rd and super long ugh
