Bryant-Denny Stadium

About Bryant-Denny Stadium

Bryant-Denny Stadium has become one of the most prominent college football venues in the nation. Located on the southwestern edge of The University of Alabama campus, the history-laden stadium ranks among the nation's top-10 largest on-campus football stadiums with a seating capacity of 101,821 after completion of the latest expansion in the summer of 2010.

The 2010 project was the fourth expansion of Bryant-Denny stadium since 1988 and the seventh expansion in the stadium's history. Other expansions were completed in 1946, 1961, 1966, 1988, 1998 and 2006. Those earlier projects expanded Bryant-Denny Stadium to a capacity of 92,138, and the stadium's capacity then exceeded 100,000 following the completion of the South End Zone expansion in 2010.

The evolution of Bryant-Denny Stadium has been significant from its origins back in 1929 when 12,000 seats were erected for a Crimson Tide team coached by Wallace Wade that featured an All-American lineman named Fred Sington.
