The Alabama Crimson Tide’s home has been getting a makeover, and the coronavirus pandemic has not stopped the progress.
Alabama’s Athletic Director Greg Byrne took to Twitter to post numerous pictures updating fans on the first phase of renovations that are set to be completed by Alabama’s home opener against Georgia State on Sept. 12.
According to the Crimson Tide Foundation, the renovations will include: three new club areas and the addition of 3,826 new premium seats, new skyboxes, as well as the renovation of all existing skyboxes, a relocated press box, new locker room and tunnel, updated recruiting areas, an expanded concourse and renovated concession areas.
Byrne posted these updates on Twitter earlier today:
