Saraland becomes ‘Bear-a-land’ as residents adjust to their furry neighbors

You may have noticed the logo for “The Land,” Saraland’s new $72 million sports complex currently being constructed on Celeste Road, features a bear.

The logo, which depicts a bear climbing up a hill, is a reference to the topography of the site. The complex is being constructed on a hillside. But the bear is a playful reference to something almost every Saraland resident has experienced: finding a bear in your backyard.
