Bank Independent Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium complex by the University of North Alabama that is being constructed in Florence, Alabama, to replace Braly Stadium and Mike D. Lane Field for athletic events by the 2026–2027 academic year. It will consist of a separate football and baseball field.
The football field will be named Bobby Wallace Field and the baseball field will be named Mike D. Lane Field.
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.
