The recent topping out of Bank Independent Stadium at the University of North Alabama (UNA) signifies a pivotal moment in the construction of a $65 million multipurpose facility. Managed by Birmingham-based HPM, this project is poised to become UNA's first dedicated stadium, with an anticipated opening in Fall 2026. The stadium will feature Bobby Wallace Field, a three-level press tower, and facilities designed to host a variety of athletic and community events, including concerts and live performances.
Bank Independent Stadium is set to redefine the athletic complex at UNA, incorporating football, baseball, and soccer teams, along with the marching band, into its design. A notable addition is a 2,760 square foot video board, enhancing the experience during games and events. The project's innovative design includes a 360-degree concourse, ensuring unobstructed views for fans. This development not only benefits UNA but also enriches the Florence community by providing a venue for diverse events.
HPM's role extends beyond program management, offering specialized services from pre-construction to completion.
