Bryant-Denny Stadium is the best according to USA Today and former Alabama coach Nick Saban's daughter, Kristen Saban, isn't surprised. She posted her thoughts on the latest accomplishment of Crimson Tider's home stadium as USA Today Sports listed Bryant-Denny Stadium as the top college football stadium.
Kristen responded with a brief yet impactful two-word statement on her Instagram story on Wednesday:
"well duh!"
Founded in 1929 and renamed in 1975 in honor of Paul "Bear" Bryant, Bryant-Denny Stadium has seen it all in college football, several of those moments under Saban's direction.
The 73-year-old legendary coach got his own honor by getting the gridiron at the stadium named after him. The University of Alabama Board of Trustees gave their vote of approval and named it - 'Saban Field' at the Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium doesn't feature in loudest CFB stadiums
The Alabama Crimson Tide's home stadium was missing from the list of 10 loudest college football stadiums. The rankings featured stadiums known for their thunderous atmospheres. Tiger Stadium (home of the LSU Tigers), Death Valley at Clemson Memorial Stadium (home of the Clemson Tigers), Husky Stadium and Neyland Stadium (home of the Tennessee Volunteers) occupied the top spots.
Other noteworthy mentions were Kyle Field (Texas A&M), Beaver Stadium (Penn State), and Autzen Stadium (Oregon Ducks). Alabama's stadium's exclusion is surprising, given its capacity of over 100,000 and a passionate fan base.
This could be an incentive for Alabama fans to turn up the volume on game day and make sure their stadium regains its status as one of the loudest in the sport. Looks like the competition is not limited to the field but also to the energy of the stands.
