Left out the fact that in 1975, the Alabama legislators passed bill to add the current Alabama football coach's name onto the stadium. That was Paul Bear Bryant. Don't you ever forget that boy.
I'm a Tide alum and fan, but I have never liked the upper decks in the north and south ends. They don't match the side decks and there's no way to join them. The upper rows are actually above the lights. Looks like a mistake.
huge stadium ⁉🏈🏟It needed an upgrade in the mid 2000s..I think they should've just done one upper deck on one of the endzones and not both of them..You can let some air come into the stadium..
Nice history! Thanks for posting! Ohio Stadium turns 100 years old this season….initial capacity 66k…also had dormitories in it for the honor students. Much like this stadium, a lot of the initial support and architecture is now changed out or built over. I hope to see it some day!
For you Tide Fans, Coach Bryant was born in Dallas County, AR, and deserted the University of Arkansas for your shit school! In 1941, at the age of 27, he was HIRED to be the Head Coach of the University of Arkansas Razorbacks! The deal fell through because of the outbreak of World War II and Pearl Harbor! What might have been!
I remember the little fire station right outside the south enzone. Verner Elementary was south of the stadium. Did 1st & 2nd grades there. Big parking lot now.
Furlog Giant That just lets us know we’re good! You should come down and see a game. Our fans who are actually Bama fans and not bandwagons are really nice.
Furlog Giant Wow really? The team with the most National Championships and that has literally had both of the top two coaches and history is not respected? Okay that makes sense like totally 😂 Nah y’all just hate us bc we’re good right now. But it’s cool. We’ll just keep doing what we do. Keep on hating.
