The first price tag is in for the planned Bryant-Denny Stadium renovation.
According to resolution set to be voted upon by Alabama's board of trustees Friday, Phase I of the project will cost $75.5 million.
That includes $2.9 million in a design fee to be paid to Davis Architects of Birmingham. The resolution requests waiving the consultant selection process and use Davis Architects. It cites the firm was the "architect of record" in previous Bryant-Denny Stadium renovations and its "familiarity and knowledge of the existing facility."
It is the first of the three-part plan to upgrade Alabama's athletics facilities -- mainly Bryant-Denny for football and Coleman Coliseum for basketball and gymnastics.
