Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne took to Twitter on Monday morning to show off more of the fantastic progress at Bryant-Denny Stadium!
He shared how he loves taking an early morning walk to the stadium to see the progress, and if we’re being completely honest, it’s looking incredible.
The Crimson Standard, is a 10-year, $600 million fundraising initiative to enhance athletics facilities on the UA campus, including Bryant-Denny Stadium, Rhoads Stadium and Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility.
Bryant-Denny Stadium’s renovation will cost around $106 million dollars and is scheduled to be completed by Alabama’s first home game of the 2020 season.
Byrne started the tour by taking pictures of the new elevators, as well as the new student plaza, restrooms and concessions.

All in all, the stadium updates are coming along nicely, and it looks amazing!
Some of the main goals of Bryant Denny’s stadium renovation is to have more luxury seating for fans, larger scoreboards, new entrances, and an all around better fan experience.
There’s no doubt that when all of the construction is all said and done, Alabama will have one of, if not the nicest, stadiums and training facilities in the country.
Oh, and Byrne also hinted that he will soon be unveiling pictures of the new home locker room and recruiting area…. OH SNAP!
