The University of Alabama is spending around 106 million dollars on Bryant-Denny Stadium’s renovation which is scheduled to be completed by Alabama’s first home game of the 2020 season.
Alabama Athletic Director Greg Byrne took to twitter to share some progress pictures and videos to show how the renovation looks so far.
Just toured Bryant-Denny to see how construction is going. Pictures & videos in the next several tweets.

As you can see, there’s a lot of construction underway in Tuscaloosa, but there’s no doubt it will look amazing after it’s completed.
The goals of the renovations are to have more luxury seating options, several features designed to enhance the fan experience, larger corner scoreboards, adding a student concourse at the southeast ground level entrance, and more.
Bryant-Denny’s upgrade is part of a 10-year, 600 million dollar Crimson Standard campaign that will also involve Coleman Coliseum and other athletic facilities.
