The John CaldwellUniversity of Alabama athletics department released these conceptual images Friday showing how Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium may appear this fall at Alabama football games.

Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium was adopted before a UA System Board of Trustees committee meeting Friday. Nick and Terry Saban attended the virtual meeting, as did UA President Stuart Bell, along with trustees and other members of the UA community.

The naming was chosen to honor the Sabans and their impact not just on football, but the UA community, Tuscaloosa and beyond. Nick Saban announced his retirement in January 2024, but with the Saban Center evolving downtown, their Nick's Kids charity and other ties to the area, they don't plan to be strangers to the Druid City.
