Dirt is finally moving at the future site of Protective Stadium, the new Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex stadium.

Crews were seen removing existing sidewalks, trees and fencing as crews begin grading work for the stadium. A $4.9 million bid for site grading was approved at the end of June.

“This is an exciting time for the BJCC. There is so much growth and development happening across the complex. We are building Protective stadium and renovating Legacy arena which, along with the important developments happening across the city, will change the face of sports and entertainment in Birmingham," said Tad Snider, CEO and executive director of the BJCC.
