Nutrition and Dining Center

Alabama Athletics is constantly evaluating ways to improve our student-athletes' experience at the University of Alabama as well as the ways that we can help them be champions on and off the fields and courts. The nutrition program for our student-athletes is vital to their health and performance. The Athletics Department is excited about the work that has begun on a comprehensive 2-story dining facility. Once complete, the 22,000 square foot facility will be the nutrition hub for our over 500 student-athletes as it will serve all sports.

A project like this will truly enhance our student-athletes experience as we will be able to provide a space for all team meals before games and consistently meet their individual and team nutritional needs. The current estimate for this project is approximately $14 million dollars and we will certainly need your help to make this a reality. If you are interested in supporting the new Nutrition/Dining Facility, please contact the Foundation at ctf@ia.ua.edu or 205-348-9727.

Baseball – The Sewell-Thomas Stadium Building Fund

Sewell-Thomas Stadium recently underwent extensive renovations and moved from one of the lowest rated baseball stadiums in the SEC to one that makes Alabama Baseball proud. The stadium now provides enhanced game day experience for players and fans complete with new concession areas, a team store, skyboxes, clubs, a new press box, a family area with playground, and an Alabama Baseball Hall of Fame. The $42 million renovation of Sewell-Thomas Stadium ensures that Alabama Baseball has the resources needed to have the opportunity to recruit the best players and compete for championships on the conference and national levels. Athletics Administration was aware that the renovations to the Stadium needed to be completed as soon as possible to give Alabama's oldest sport the opportunity to be competitive, so construction began while funds were still being raised. To that end, the goal for funding the Sewell-Thomas renovation and expansion is not complete. Please call 205-348-9727 if you are interested in making a pledge to the Sewell-Thomas Stadium Building Fund.
