My only gripe is the field isn’t good enough. Bryant Saban Stadium. For the greatest two to ever do it.

Already have Denny Chimes too.

Is it time to kick ol' George Denny to the curb?

Alabama Football wouldn’t be where it is without George Denny. That said, the stadium was originally called Denny Field.

So let’s just rearrange things. Denny Field at Bryant-Saban Stadium.

Naming the stadium after the two greatest coaches in CFB history seems like the appropriate thing to do.

I'm not a big fan of Field naming.

No.. Denny is the founding father of Alabama football and the reason we are the premier football power of the South

The Field isn’t enough. Saban’s legacy is just as strong or stronger than Bryant.

Saban’s name has to be first. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but it has to be. Saban’s impact on the University and the city of Tuscaloosa is unrivaled.

Agree. I don't like how the campus or T-town feels now, but the growth of both is directly attributed to him. I remember when people outside of the program would complain about his salary. He was worth every cent and then some. I think he deserves more than a field name but would be happy with that painted on the field each game.

He's already got an iconic campus structure named after him. Saban obviously deserves one too.

Maybe change to Bryant- Saban Stadium

Wouldn't that be some BS?

Nah.

Bryant Denny Stadium should stay. I don't care if they name the field after him, but bama is nothing if it isn't tradition. just my $0.02

Announce a new arena. Call it Saban Arena.

He gets his own building. It's multi purpose (not just baskeball) so I think it appropriate.

Better than a "field." And I'm not a fan of altering the name of the stadium.

Better stats and records.

But Bear is almost mythical. He probably looked the other coach in the eye, too, at midfield.

Rename 10th Ave/Colonial Drive to Saban Way IMO.

Stadium would be flanked by Wallace Wade Ave, Bryant Drive, and Saban Way.
