College football section

Hello. Not sure how to edit, but the Football section discussing south alabama football stadium is outdated. South Alabama has built a new stadium (Hancock whitney) on campus. This new campus also holds the senior bowl. 130.160.192.61 (talk) 14:28, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Economy section

Alabama#Economy was spun out to Economy of Alabama in 2019, but without modifying the originating section per summary style. Subsequently the originating section continued to receive improvements, which I have now attempted to synchronize to the child article. To avoid this going forward, I would prefer to replace the content of Alabama#Economy with {{Excerpt|Economy of Alabama}} as per WP:SYNC. Would there be any objections to that? -- Visviva (talk) 02:09, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
