Bryant–Denny Stadium

Bryant–Denny Stadium is a venue in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, hosting the university college football team home games and seating more than 100,000 spectators. Multiple tiers of seating surround the playing surface, while modern scoreboards and a broad concourse system provide orientation and overview for attendees.

The venue opened in 1929 as Denny Stadium, named after the university president George Denny at the time. The name was expanded in 1975 to include Bryant, honoring coach Paul Bear Bryant, who shaped the program over decades.

Bronze statues in the Walk of Champions honor every coach who led the team to national titles, drawing fans who gather there before each home game. Game days transform the campus into a sea of red and white as thousands show their support for the Crimson Tide.

Visitors reach the facility through several gates along Bryant Drive, with parking spread across the university grounds. On game days, arriving early is advisable, as roads around the venue become busy hours before kickoff.

The playing surface carries the name Saban Field since 2024, honoring coach Nick Saban, who secured six national championships. This recognition was announced after his retirement from active coaching and acknowledges his exceptional record in college football.
