I know it was there in 1970, but don't know when it was built. Anyone know?Thanks Kyle. I remember when Coleman was built and now it looks like I might be around when it is torn down.
Almost seemed as if our leader enjoyed stomping on itThat lasted a whole hour
seems like 68 but not sure.I know it was there in 1970, but don't know when it was built. Anyone know?
the main think is built it right and take no short cuts.
Explain "light pennies"?I remember we were suppose to open the arena with a game against Duke in December 1967; however. Coleman was not ready until February 24, 1968, for the Kentucky game. We played Duke in Foster and the Coach at Duke was furious. In those days in Foster the teams sat on the baselines and we would sit in the balcony above the teams. During the game some houligans would light pennies and drop them on the opposing benches. Foster had an unbelievable home court advantage.
We lost the first game in Coleman by something like 14 to Kentucky. The last game in Foster was February 19, 1968, against Vandy and we lost that one.
I couldn't have gotten that right but I'm pretty sure it held 15,042 before renovations started years ago.Correct
Didn’t know we had a basketball thread. Sorry about that. When do we get a separate board for ex-Alabama players?
I left for the USAF in April that year.I couldn't have gotten that right but I'm pretty sure it held 15,042 before renovations started years ago.
Dammit believe it or not I went back and forth on 42 or 43 lol. Thanks for clarifying. I grew up going to lots of games every year with my dad and grandfather. I've been there for the highs and lows. I was a ball boy one season. We beat #1 Kentucky. We (ball boys) only got 3-4 games and I got UK. I got scolded for standing under the hoop while a UK player shot FT's, swinging my towel in circles violently and yelling at the guy. I got scooped up 10 seconds later and chewed out haha. Whatevs. I was 10. And he missed and we won. Roll Tide.15,043

In those days we were so bad that Coleman was actually a good place to study.

Don’t trust much that Ryan Brown says. He’s one of the most self-serving persons in the media, but certainly not the greatest the only one.That lasted a whole hour
