What will it be? Stadium or Field?

Maybe Saban Field. Bryant-Denny has too much to do with the history of the building of Alabama that I don’t think that will change anytime soon.
I hope neither. We have a statue, the Saban Catholic Student Center and will have the Saban Center downtown. Every road around campus is pretty much named after someone. I would like to see him honored in a way that reflects what his core values are: meeting a standard each day, doing your best, and helping those he coached create value for themselves.
Just go with Saban Field. Paint an NS or Saban somewhere on there for gamedays. Hope they don't change the stadium name.
Unpopular opinion. Bryant-Saban Stadium. Denny Chimes is iconic enough to have in his honor.
You know I used to think having Saban’s name on the stadium would be appropriate but after a pretty good take from Finebaum I think it’s probably not the best idea. Without Denny there is likely no Bryant nor is there a Saban. I think putting Bryant’s name with Denny’s name was okay but adding another is too busy and taking off Denny’s name is just wrong.
While we are at it. What about Eli Gold press box?

Saban was honored with $150 million and a statue. Leave the facility names alone.

Saban Field and then they'll probably rename one of the streets. I'd imagine Colonial Dr. or 15th Ave. Or maybe 9th St. since it runs in front of the Saban church bit.
It would probably be Saban Field. I don't think they'd want to demote Bryant or Denny and having a stadium with 3 names is too many.
Though I feel CNS is absolutely worthy of having his name on the stadium, I feel the same way. I hate that today’s society is so quick to “update” something with removing a name on it just because they don’t remember it.
That said, if made to choose one way or the other, I’d go all 3 names before I’d take Denny’s off.
I keep seeing people using the excuse that they don’t want to “copy Auburn” by naming it Nick Saban Field, but FSU named their field “Bobby Bowden Field” in 2004, Auburn named theirs “Pat Dye Field” in 2005, so
it’s not like it was AU’s original idea.
It shouldn’t be forgotten that CPB and CNS both coached in what was originally named Denny Stadium.
I wouldn’t mind if it were Saban Field at Saban-Bryant-Denny.
CNS resurrected our entire Program from the ashes of severe probation and took us back to the Mountain Top and kept us there for 15-16 years.
Put his name on everything for all I care…lol

I think building a new Basketball Arena is much more important than any of this.
Speaking of the statue, now that Coach has retired, I'd like to see a new statue commissioned to replace that gosh awful one. Maybe I'm one of the few who doesn't like it.
I like Saban-Bryant stadium because the stadium name is what is most often referred to during TV broadcasts and I feel Coach Saban (as the GOAT in national championships) should be first followed by the 2nd GOAT. President Denny can be field name, which I feel is secondary but still an honor.
No offense to university Blvd but Saban Blvd running parallel to bryant drive feels correct
