In 2007 Alabama did have a neutral site game, however it was not a season opener. Bama played Florida State in Jacksonville, FL the 5th game of the season and lost to the Seminoles 14-21.
This is the only non opener neutral site game during the Saban era and his only neutral site regular season loss at Alabama. It is also important to remember that the game was supposedly in 2007 and there is serious debate whether that year really ever happened.
Fun fact per 3down10:
Florida State was forced to vacate our one neutral site regular season loss due to NCAA violations. However, if we had won we would have been required to vacate the win as well. As I stated earlier there is continued debate as to if 2007 ever happened.

I'm starting to wonder about 2020 in Dallas. The original deal called for it to be worked out by late 2015. We're more than two years past that and still no opponent. Maybe it really IS getting harder to find an opponent willing to play us for one of these marquee games.
I found another article from last summer speculating that we may be looking into other cities' kickoff games. I sure hope we don't get saddled with another lower-tier P5 like Duke.
FWIW, per FBSchedules.com USC still doesn't have anybody scheduled for 9/5/2020. I wonder if they're in negotiations, too.

I believe FSU had to vacate that neutral site victory.
Which is funny, because if we had won we would have had to vacate too.
