This is inside Bryant-Denny Stadium and gives you the best indication yet of how much snow has stuck at Alabama today.

From this phot0, Bryant-Denny looks a little like Soldier Field in Chicago of Lambeau Field in Green Bay.

Marc Torrence, the assistant sports editor of The Crimson White, is kind enough to let us use his snow picture this afternoon of Bryant-Denny Stadium.

It’s a cool shot, and we wanted to make sure you saw it.

Older Alabama pregame video

Posted on October 12, 2012 by | Comments Off

The one we posted the other day proved popular, so we went digging around for more.

This is an older pregame video, done before the last two national titles. It’s a good one, too, with more history, and it’s well edited.

The beautiful, quiet Tuscaloosa evening you missed

Posted on May 23, 2012 by | Comments Off

Click image to enlarge.

I was driving through campus this evening, when the amateur photographer in me popped out. The area was practically dead. You rarely see the plaza outside Bryant-Denny Stadium like this, so I figured I’d document that for you. Enjoy.

Posted on April 12, 2012 by | Comments Off

There was one TV crew and some passers-by getting footage, so here’s almost-exclusive footage of the action outside Bryant-Denny Stadium this afternoon. As you can see, a commemorative copy of the Crimson White student newspaper went under the plaque.

Bryant-Denny empties again after half

Posted on September 18, 2011 by | 2 Comments

Nick Saban made it clear on his Thursday radio show he wasn’t happy with the empty seats he saw at the end of the season-opening win over Kent State. The same complaint could be filed after last night’s 41-0 Crimson Tide win over North Texas.

Here is the student section a few minutes into the third quarter Saturday night.

It thinned even further by the early stages of the fourth quarter.

Not passing judgement here. I understand it was a blowout and there’s always a party to attend on a Saturday night in Tuscaloosa.

Nick Saban statue update

Posted on February 16, 2011 by | Comments Off

Nothing to see here folks, still.

As you can see in this photo taken Tuesday, the statue is still either transparent or nonexistent.

We’re currently checking to see if there’s anything new on the Nick Saban statue mystery and will report any new developments as soon as they’re available.

Pictures of pro-Auburn Bryant-Denny Stadium vandalism

Posted on February 15, 2011 by | 5 Comments

You have seen pictures of the damaged grass outside Bryant-Denny Stadium. Well, here’s what the “Walk of Champions” grove of statues looked like this afternoon. As you can see, the “28-27″ was still burned into the grass to commemorate the Iron Bowl score from last season.

I can remember my fraternity allegedly pulled a similar stunt when we burned our letters into the front yard of a sorority house. I think they allegedly used gas in the alleged prank.

Either way, the University of Alabama seems fed up with the Auburn-related vandalism. Photos circulated online of an Auburn sticker placed on Bear Bryant’s statue. A few weeks earlier, a Cam Newton jersey turned up on Bryant’s likeness.

Here’s proof of Alabama’s discontentment.

Don't tread on them.

Alabama cracks football attendance top-5

The NCAA released attendance figures from the 2010 season, and thanks to the south end zone expansion of Bryant-Denny Stadium, Alabama ranked fourth.

The top-5:
1. Michigan (111,825 avg.)
2. Ohio State (105,278)
3. Penn State (104,234)
4. Alabama (101,821)
5.  Texas (100,654)

In case you’re keeping score, Auburn was 10th at 86,087. The average for the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision teams was 46,632.

Welcome to the Iron Bowl

Posted on November 26, 2010 by | Comments Off

For now, she rests

Bryant-Denny Stadium is all quiet for now. It’s a cold, gray November day but the spirits are high outside.

Still, the tailgating scene was a little off from what it was back in September when Penn State was in town. There were all kinds of signs taking a negative view towards Cam Newton. Just don’t expect to see too many of them on the CBS broadcast.

On a side note, I want to thank the Whitlock, Kausler and Gould families who took in this Thanksgiving refuge yesterday. It was outstanding.

Not a terrible crowd to start

Posted on November 20, 2010 by | Comments Off

I know most of you have moved on from Thursday night’s Alabama win over Georgia State, but the turnout was a matter of discussion earlier in the week, so why not address it on this eerily quiet Saturday afternoon.

First, let me say that I was surprised by how many seats were filled at kickoff. Also see this and this.

The students

After that, the support dwindled.

End of the first half.

 

Third quarter

Fourth quarter

By the end of the game, there were plenty of good seats available. See the video below to see how many people had left. Also listen for the “Rammer Jammer” cheer after the final play. It sounded like the marching band was playing something different, but the few hundred remaining students couldn’t resist.

Will the Georgia State game sell out?

Posted on November 16, 2010 by | 2 Comments

There were empty seats Saturday night against Mississippi State.

So we can all be honest here. Thursday night’s game could be one of the ugliest beatings in a long time if Alabama chooses to take it there against Georgia State.

But that wouldn’t serve much of a purpose with Auburn coming to town next Friday. That means plenty of backups will see tons of playing time.

That said, and being a Thursday night affair, will Bryant-Denny Stadium fill to the brim? There were empty seats in the corner for Mississippi State on Saturday. You decide.
