Blazer Soccer Stadium

University of Alabama at Birmingham

In order to capitalize on the growing soccer scene in Birmingham, Davis has been working with UAB on a design for a new 5,000 seat stadium for their men’s and women’s soccer teams. The facility upgrades come in conjunction with a partnership between UAB and the Birmingham Legion Football Club to house its United Soccer League professional soccer team on UAB's campus.

Located off of University Boulevard just east of I-65, BBVA Compass Field will be a welcoming gateway to the campus. The project includes a press box, aluminum bleacher seating, ticketing, a state-of-the-art video display, decorative fencing, field lighting, a synthetic turf field, and locker rooms for home and visiting teams and officials. The new facility will also help make UAB a top contender when putting in bids to host Conference USA and the first round of the NCAA tournament.

“The upgrades to BBVA Compass Field will make it one of the largest and finest on-campus soccer venues in the country. UAB already has an outstanding soccer culture in place, but these improvements to our facility will provide our coaches and student-athletes with an even better platform to showcase their programs and compete at an even higher level." - Mark Ingram, Director of Athletics
