Bank Independent Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium that has been approved by the University of North Alabama to be constructed in Florence, Alabama to replace Braly Stadium and Mike D. Lane Field for athletic events by the 2026-2027 academic year.[2]
It is to be built adjacent to Flowers Hall, which houses the UNA basketball and volleyball programs. The stadium will be designed by Davis Architects who previously designed the 2016 renovation of the Stephen C. O'Connell Center and expansions of Bryant–Denny Stadium.[3]
