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.

This. How often do you hear them say "You're looking live at Steve Spurrier-Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium" or "Pat Dye Field at Jordan-Hare Stadium" or even "Bobby Bowden Field at Doak S. Campbell Stadium" during a broadcast? This is also the risk you take when you name a building after someone. What if someone even better comes along?
