TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— Nick Saban left a legacy on the Alabama football program and across college football that will last for generations. And now his named is officially cemented on the very stadium where he won over 100 games.
"This is a great honor to have the field named after the legacy we’ve been able to create here," Saban said. "I want this legacy to represent every player who played and worked hard. Every coach who helped those players develop. The administration who set a foundation where we had a chance to be successful by providing all the resources we needed to be the best program in the country.
The signage in front of the Walk of Champions now says, "Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium."
