And rechristening it Bryant-Saban Stadium. They say Denny already has his name on Denny Chimes and that is enough. What are your thoughts?

Denny was a beloved UA President...but Denny Chimes is the most iconic part of campus. Its enough of an honor and id support renaming the stadium

That is what I would love. Make it Bryant-Saban Stadium at Denny field.

It would be shortened to BS Stadium though.

Bryant Denny Saban - BDS

It's not that hard. It's literally right there. You can keep the same acronym and you're good to go

don't change it.

name field for saban? sure. bryant denny sounds correct. and of course y'all all know what denny meant for us. we wouldn't be us without him.

saban was goat. saban brought us back to relevance in the title hunt. he brought shite tons of money here. we can name some more shite after him, but don't change the field's name. just my $0.02

Absolutely against removing Denny from the name. He had his place in the building of Alabama and it should remain. Because someone carry’s on the tradition from the foundation that had already been laid long before does not mean you start modern replacement.

Many other ways Saban can be honored without removing Denny.

So what does Bama do if the unthinkable happens and DeBoer is here for 17 yrs and wins 7 NC at Alabama. Does it become Bryant DeBoer Denny Saban stadium. Look Saban is the best coach of all time and what he did not only for football but the university, state and City of Tuscaloosa but a statue a street should be fine besides I don’t think he cares about that anyway.

However they do it, Saban’s name belongs on the stadium itself. Naming the field is something for a Pat Dye type.

How old are some of you that are so quick and willing to rip a man's name off the stadium, one that's been there 100 years?

At a place that takes pride in being steeped in tradition.

Find something else to put his name on.

There is no stadium and a lot of the campus without Denny. IMHO, his name is the last one that should ever come off.

I'd be totally cool with BDS. Bryant Denny Saban sounds totally fine to me.

Bigger question is what street are they going to rename after Saban?

We're just going to name it DeBoer Stadium in a few years anyway.

My thoughts are that anyone who actually thinks that Nick Saban would support replacing George Denny's name on the stadium with his own is a fricking idiot.

I mean, seriously. The class act that is Nick Saban, actually going along with this?

Are you people really that fricking stupid?

Yes. Replace Denny with Saban. No brainer. Chimes are plenty for Denny and Bryant and Saban more appropriate for the field of competition.

I have a ton of respect for George Denny. There would be no Alabama Football without him. He built the foundation of our tradition.

That said, I’d like to think he’d understand taking his name off the stadium so we can rename it after the two best coaches of all time. Denny Field at Bryant-Saban Stadium.
