Florence Mayor, Andrew Betterton, and local leaders believe the stadium will be a game-changer for both the university and the surrounding Shoals area — drawing visitors, boosting tourism revenue, and providing a year-round venue for events. With seating capacity for thousands and amenities to rival larger programs, Bank Independent Stadium aims to enhance the gameday atmosphere for fans while creating new traditions for UNA students and alumni.
When completed in 2026, the stadium will stand as both a symbol of pride for the university and a new hub of activity for northwest Alabama — proof that strategic partnerships and community investment can turn long-standing dreams into lasting landmarks.
