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.

Alabama has the problem where two of the best who ever did it spent the bulk of their career coaching here.
The national broadcasters are not going to say “Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium” constantly so Saban’s legacy will never get the proper credit he is due. Bryant-Denny-Saban Stadium (or in some other name order) doesn’t really roll off the tongue.
I don’t think there is a great solution but the Denny Field at Bryant-Saban Stadium is probably the best.

How old are you to remember George Denny? He got to Alabama in 1912 and left it in 1937. The man passed away during the Eisenhower administration. As someone who is well-versed in the history and tradition of the football program, I know what Denny did for the school. However, look at what Saban did for the school AND the sport. His tenure at Alabama dramatically changed both.

Like what? There isn't anything else. How often does someone refer to Pat Dye Field when there is a game played in Jordan-Hare Stadium?
