Parking concerns for Birmingham's new Coca-Cola Amphitheater
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — While excitement grows for the opening of the Coca-Cola Ampitheater, which is expected to have a capacity of 9,300, there remains concern over parking and traffic in the area. The BJCC, who owns two parking decks set to be used for the Ampitheater, said its parking lots will be complete before the Ampitheater's first show on June 22. Alabama Senate leader says gambling proposal has 'too few votes' to pass Meanwhile the developers with C&R Endeavors, who are overseeing the project, say that may not be the case on their end. 'We're a little bit behind when it comes to preparing the parking decks that are out there,' said developer Matthew Smith. Smith took to the city's planning and zoning commission meeting on March 26 and requested to temporarily rezone space within the Druid Hills and Evergreen neighborhoods. Smith said the project to fix the Carraway parking decks won't be complete in time to meet the deadline of the Ampitheater's start date. 'It's not necessarily the discovery of parking; it's a matter of timelines and development. Market conditions haven't been favorable to us,' said Smith. 'We voted for that zoning variance to allow them to use some of the gravel lot for parking,' said Druid Hills Neighborhood President Janet Maycock. Maycock said though residents have approved Smith's requests, they are concerned with the overcrowding it may cause in their neighborhoods. 'Everything with this is a temporary situation, it's not a permanent situation. We're going to be inconvenienced but our hope is that this is a temporary fix to this situation and that those parking decks will be done when scheduled,' said Maycock.

Notre Dame is trying to flip a FSU commitment, will be on campus today
Notre Dame is trying to flip a FSU commitment, will be on campus today In recruiting, it's hard to say that a prospect is really committed until they sign, which looks like the case with Florida State verbal Karon Maycock and Notre Dame. The 6-foot, 1-inch and 200-pound safety committed to the Seminoles just about a month ago, but is now having second thoughts about his decision. On Monday night, the nation's No. 450 linebacker according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings announced that he will be taking an unofficial visit to South Bend today after getting an offer late last week. Maycock does have more than a few other official visits sets, but at the current moment does not have one to see Notre Dame. If one is scheduled in the coming weeks, then the Irish are squarely in the mix to flip the safety. However, if an official isn't set up, don't expect Maycock to end up as part of the Irish 2026 recruiting class.
