Bryant–Denny Stadium

About

Saban Field at Bryant–Denny Stadium is an outdoor stadium on the campus of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. It is the home field of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). Opened in 1929, it was originally named Denny Stadium in honor of George H. Denny, the school's president from 1912 to 1932. In 1975, the state legislature added longtime head coach and alumnus Paul "Bear" Bryant to the stadium's name. Bryant led the Tide for seven more seasons, through 1982, and is one of the few in Division I to have coached at a venue bearing his name. In 2024, Alabama announced that the playing field would be named after its second-winningest head coach, Nick Saban, who led the Crimson Tide to 6 national championships between 2007 and 2023. With a seating capacity of 100,077, it is the fourth-largest stadium in the Southeastern Conference, the eighth-largest stadium in the United States, and the tenth-largest stadium in the world.
