THIS IS ALABAMA FOOTBALL
There has been and there will be great moments in Bryant Denny stadium. Before there was Denny, there was the Quad. From 1893-1914 games were played on the Quad and later University Field, which would be renamed Denny Stadium after former president George Hutcheson Denny. He became president of the university in 1912 and remained president for almost a quarter of a century. The stadium opened on Sept. 28, 1929, with a seating capacityof 12,000.In 1946, the seating capacity rose to 31,000 following the addition of bleachers in both end zones. By 1988, the seating capacity was 70,123 following the addition of 12,000 seats, the pressbox and an elevator in 1961 and a 1966 addition of at least 17,000 seats. The stadium also took on another name. In 1975, the state legislature voted to rename the stadium "Bryant-Denny" in salute to Tide coach Paul William "Bear'' Bryant The stadium received its last make-over in 1998 when the east-side upper deck and two levels of sky boxes were completed which upped the seating capacity to 83,818.
