Coach Bryant's statue from Legion Field...oh, and a 13th NC flag would be nice as well.

Plastic cups

The ice smell is horrible, but if you mix in enough Old Forrester, it goes away.

How about changing the look of the plastic cups. It looked awful last year. Does anyone have a picture of last year's cups? Not good at all!

GREAT PICTURE!!! WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS AT THE STADIUM.

We need to show off all the championships we have EARNED like what Yankee Stadium and other tradition tems do!

GREAT IDEA!!!!!

Cant remember where I read it but somebody suggested crimson pants .. i think those would look real good with white helmets.

How about dumping Pepsi products for Coca-Cola products. I can't stand Pepsi- just me.

The reason why Pepsi is in all the stadiums and all the restaraunts is because they are much better than Coke at servicing these places. I learned that when I worked in the restaraunt industry. It works well for them, because while working there I actually got hooked on Pepsi and still drink it today.

Three words.

Concessions. Concessions. Concessions.

If they were to put the national championships in the middle, I think it would be cool to put all of our SEC championships on flags at the top since there won't be anything else there now.

I really would like to see what black pants would look like. Black pants, crimson jersey, white helmets.

How cool would that be?

Seriously, the picture is awesome. Send it to the AD.

I grew up with Coke products being at Bryant-Denny and I hate Pepsi. So please bring Coke prodcts back!

"I always go back to what Coach Bryant used to say about celebrating when you score a touchdown. "Act like you've been there before". By touting our National & SEC Championships we are bragging about our past (there's no need everybody already knows). However, if we don't throw those items in peoples face we are more inclined to look toward the future and our next National & SEC Championship.

I'm all about the Alabama Tradition and I love the video but we don't have to brag about our tradition...it brags enough for us. I just like to intimidate our opponents and the new addition to the stadium will help with that! 92,000 Bama fans will be VERY LOUD."


AMEN!!! Very well said!!! I think the flags that are currently around the stadium are enough. We should let our past speak for itself without shoving it down everyone's throat like we're overly insecure about it. Here are some other suggestions:

1) Kill the constant Jumbotron ads. Also get rid of all the goofy flashbacks of some obscure game in the 50s narrated by Tom Roberts. Those kill the stadium atmosphere in my opinion. Instead of doing something to rev up the crowd during time outs, we have these boring flashbacks on the jumbotron.

2) Improve the concessions!!! There's no reason the concessions shouldn't be top notch with a wide selection of food and drink that doesn't run out well before the game ends. On that same note, I wouldn't mind seeing beer sales at the games although I know that will never happen because of NCAA, SEC, and other rules. It would lead to improvement #3

3) The stadium simply needs to be LOUDER more often!! I don't know if some sort of seating arrangment would help, but it needs to be louder. I know that many people claim that standing rather than sitting doesn't make a difference with noise level but I tend to think it probably does. We need to figure out some way to get fans out of their seats more often and make more noise more often. I so much hate to admit it, but the 20,000 Auburn fans at the Iron Bowl last year were louder than the 60,000+ Bama fans. There is no excuse for that.

Anyone who starts the wave gets tossed out of the stadium! I hate it when some goof starts the wave.
