The Bryant Denny Stadium is where Alabama Football plays their home games. I've never been to Alabama game, but I did come here for the Morgan Wallen concert last month. The stadium is huge with so many sections. There are lots of concessions areas too. read more

Roll Tide! I don't get to visit often but when I do return to my Alma mater I'm all smiles. The stadium is in great condition. They keep everything convenient and easy to navigate. I love they have a seat back no matter where you sit making it a little more comfortable and no need for a stadium seat. Bathroom were being attended to and kept clean which is awesome. The staff was nice and helpful. Great energy in the place and even better once the Tide takes the field and win! read more

What's not to love about Bryant Denny Stadium? It's the most iconic stadium in the south with the greatest fans in college football. Parking for a game is actually easier here than most stadiums because there are numerous lots around campus and you are shuttled over by trolley. Tailgating is at the quad with the west side being free. Just drop off your gear before you park. As for the stadium itself, it's more of an experience. Getting through the gates is a breeze because there are so many of them. Seating is typical college football seating but most throughout the stadium give you a good view of the game. The fan experience is incredible here especially if you know the culture of Alabama. Singing along to Dixieland Delight and Rammer Jammer to yelling Roll Tide Roll for Bama first downs is all part of the culture. It's developed over the years for the greatest team in college football. Roll Tide Roll. read more

This review is just for the food. Everything else I would leave 5 stars. we tried a little bit of everything in hopes to find something edible and it was all disgusting. I actually walked the hotdog back to the counter and asked if they would eat it. it was two different colors as if it wasn't cooked all the way through. They didn't have a response and I didn't expect one as they just work at the counter. Your best bet is to eat before and after the game somewhere else. 5 bucks for a bottle of water or soda, same for candy. smuggle in snacks if you have to or eat candy until the game is over. I have been to middle school all the way to professional events and this stadium is the most disgusting inedible food I've ever tried. read more

Have you ever wanted to know what it is like to hear over 100 thousand people yelling is like? I know what it is like.......LOUD!!! I wouldn't want to watch a game anywhere else. What a fantastic fan base. What a team! What a coach! It has been a lot of fun going to and watching games here. The food could be better but, beggars can't be choosers, and I am not going for the food. I just see the world through food colored lenses. I can't help it. Special thanks to my wife's family, without them I wouldn't get to see the games in person. Elle, you know who you are, and you are doing a fantastic job at what you do. I appreciate you. read more

Hey what can I say, it's always great to be in BDS!!! I wanted my nephew to get a head start on experiencing this great campus and stadium. A-Day 2021 was a great first for him as well as my mom and step-dad. Due to COVID, the capacity was 50%, still awesome! The weather was nice and our seats were good. Just to be in the atmosphere, I don't think there is a bad seat in this place. The staff was helpful and the fans were great. Until next time, Roll Tide!!! read more

Only reason it gets low stars is the very high price for concessions. Otherwise great venue, chair back seats are best, the bench seats can get tight. Many restrooms and concessions. Many gates to enter and nice security read more

Worst stadium food I have had , my high school football team has better food then this stadium. For a first class school that does everything top notch , the school should be embarrassed by the hot dogs, pretzel and nacho selection as there complete menu. Eat before you attend the game ! My wife had a pretzel that was inedible, returned it 3 times , all hard as a rock. I had a hot dog , it was ok , the only topping they offered was a mix of ketchup, mustard and sauerkraut... didn't sound good to me. Eat before you walk in the gate! Besides the crappie food , the sound system was embarrassing and gave me a headache. Loved the ambiance if the game day band and it was great watching the pregame, this review is only about the horrible food. Stale roll tide read more

Game day is always something to look forward to, especially homecoming and all of the festivities that comes along with it. I was here last weekend for the UA vs. Tennessee game and boy was it an awesome experience. I was concerned that by our seats being in the "nosebleed section" that we wouldn't get the full experience, but boy was I wrong. Be prepared to do a lot of walking to get from your vehicle to the stadium and wear comfortable shoes. I promise it's all worth it. The university had a well organized system from getting everyone in and out of the stadium. Restrooms and concession stands were located by every entry way. Expect long lines during halftime, which is expected. The Jumbotrons zoomed in so well that you could easy keep up with the game and action going on on the field. The light show during commercial breaks were awesome as well. If you're an Alabama fan, you should have a game day experience at least once every season. ROLL TIDE!! read more

The Bama football fan base is truly unlike any other. The select few fans I've interacted with have been super nice and friendly. It's so nice to see a huge community of people who are gathered in one stadium to watch the game. The Bryant Denny stadium is also one of the biggest in the country, larger than the NFL stadiums. On game day, there's also a Tuscaloosa shuttle bus that will take you from the parking deck to the stadium. It's $1 for a one way ticket or $2 for a round trip, and it's half of the price for seniors. It's super convenient to be dropped off and picked up. The stadium also doesn't allow purses or bags that aren't clear / see through. I ended up leaving my purse in the car and just putting what I need in my jacket pocket. They never searched my pockets or anything. As for the food, it's expected to be overpriced. I ordered their nachos which I've had better but I did like their twist on it. There were chunks of ham bits in it along with jalapeños in their melted cheese. My partner ordered a sausage which was pretty flavorful. It was enough to hold us until the game was over. I honestly have no connection to the school, but came for the experience. I grew up watching Nick Saban on TV with my dad when Nick Saban was still coaching the Dolphins. It's so nice to see how his leadership of the Bama team has evolved over the years. It was also nice to see the Bama team win. They were playing Austin Peay. My alma mater didn't have a football team, so it's also my first time ever seeing a college football game in person. I enjoyed my time here in Tuscaloosa and will definitely come back for future games. read more

So this is basically the greatest stadium of all time. Its got over 100000 seats, and its crowded for every game. They've got a variety of concessions, and golf carts to take you up to the top in case you're feeling too lazy to walk that far, or in case you're handicapped. It's also the home to the Crimson Tide, which is probably the greatest college team of all time. They have so many trophies and so many rings that they need a museum just to store all the stuff. If your team plays here, and your team isn't the Crimson Tide, the chances of your team winning are almost 0. Every year, the team which calls this stadium home contends for a national championship. Lately, and more often than just about any other team, they win that championship. For other teams, winning a game here is like winning it all. Since almost no one can regularly contend the way that Alabama does, when a team comes here and wins, it usually ends up being a historic event for their program. Like Alabama goes on to get the big trophy in the end, but lesser teams can always hang their hat on beating Alabama at home. It really is a big deal to them. The tailgating around this stadium is world class. For block and blocks in every direction, the best football fans ever eat bbq, drink beer, and listen to the sounds of children laughing and sorority girls giggling while wearing the kind of outfits that strippers put on between dances. It's an amazing sight. Promising freshman dudes in sport coats and athletic shoes, and undergrad women all trying to wear shoes with too-tall heels walking around like baby deer with their knees just struggling as they drunkenly stumble around yelling "roll tide". So from the crowd outside to the one inside the stadium, to the delicious chik-fil-a sandwiches available at the concession stands, to the overall energy that surrounds this place on game days, the t-shirt vendors, the bbq, the beer, not to mention the team that's probably going to beat your team, this place is the best. Even if you're a fan of one of the lesser teams who comes here knowing that you're probably going to lose, you can still have a good time, and there's always the chance that somehow your team defies incredible odds and takes home the win which would leave you having witnessed a truly historic event. It's worth it any way you look at it. Even if you're one of those people who hates football, you should still come to a game. It's basically a massive, city-wide party that's got something for everyone. You won't be disappointed. Even if your team loses miserably, they were still brave just for stepping onto that field, so there's no shame in it. Roll Tide. read more

I wanted to add a new note here. No matter where your seat is, even in the upper deck, you can go down by the field and say hello to Big Al or let the kids meet the cheerleaders. Don't forget to grab a stadium dog if you're hungry! My favorite seats are in the upper deck because you can see the game so well. 50 yard line tickets aren't good if you can't see what's happening! I do love the new LED lights that were installed this year. It adds a fun element to the game. No telling what that cost! Finally, I recommend parking and taking a university bus. We've had good luck with it every time when the line isn't long. Roll Tide Roll! read more

If you're a college football fan, then Tuscaloosa is Rome, and all roads lead here. Bryant Denny is the Colosseum, Nick Saban is the emperor, and the Crimson Tide is the most feared gladiatorial regime in the empire. That being said, I am not really a college football fan. I came down here to see my team (Vanderbilt) get absolutely annihilated. My point is that it was still an incredible experience. I make the above analogy to give weight to how significant this stadium is to the world of sports. Even with the hype, the experience did not disappoint. The roar of the crowd as so many die hards lived and died play-by-play was incredible. There aren't words to describe it, you simply have to immerse yourself in it. This needs to be a bucket list item for anyone remotely considering themself a college football fan. Appreciatively, Clayton Cohn read more

Complimentary sunscreen and sensory kits for people with special needs; these are just a few reasons Bryant Denny is a notch above the rest. The new lights are cool, and I'm excited about some new music for the football games. RTR! read more

Bryant Denny Stadium - She's a beaut! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

As much as I truly hate writing this review, I cannot give the facilities anything less than what I am. I grew up in college football country with this program as my bitter enemy. But what they lack in all things I don't like, I can't help but love what they have done with this stadium. It is state of the art, well done and I haven't been to a better amateur venue in my whole life. Again, I say this begrudgingly. The access to the stadium is superior. The downtown area is very close. And even personally working with the staff, they are some of the most helpful people I have dealt with. I have been fortunate to see the 5 star locker room numerous times along with their recruiting spaces. The hospitality areas are top touch on every level. And I hate it so much knowing what my university is doing with ours. There is a reason that the money is pumped into this place and they have done it right. I take away a star only because I feel like I have to. But honestly, this is probably the best college facility there is out there. But BDS provides one of the best college experiences you can have. read more

Great place to watch a game from. Not a bad seat in the house. Amazing atmosphere each game day. Best place to visit for college football fans.

Yes I am a huge BAMA fan. With that being said, I have been to many stadiums as well as others who have reviewed. All in all this is a very user friendly stadium. I've brought older parents here more than once and road the carts to their seating with them. Great offering. There really isn't a bad seat compared to other stadiums I have been to, Jerry World, Super Dome, Neyland, Jacksonville Stadium, Legion Field, Lambeau Field, Happy Vally, just to name some. I feel safe here and love the overall offerings from concessions to gate entry. RTR. read more

YES!!! It was my first time seeing the college football game!!! It was so much fun. I didn't know that the stadium was that big and got over 100.000 people. I think it's the greatest stadium ever. I can't tell the how nice the atmosphere was it. Stadium has a food court as well and that time food was delicious as well. I can't wait to go there and see another game. Go Bama go!! Roooollll Tide Rooooooooooollll!!!! Yea Alabama Yea, Alabama! Drown 'em Tide! Every 'Bama man's behind you, Hit your stride. Go teach the Bulldogs to behave, Send the Yellow Jackets to a watery grave. And if a man starts to weaken, That's a shame! For Bama's pluck and grit have Writ her name in Crimson flame. Fight on, fight on, fight on men! Remember the Rose Bowl, we'll win then. Go, roll to victory, Hit your stride, You're Dixie's football pride, Crimson Tide, Roll Tide, Roll Tide!! read more

I've been to a fair number of college venues/stadiums around the country and have a pretty good sampling for this review. Based on the stadium only, and not anyone's favorite team preference this stadium is the gold standard. If you come at the stadium from the front you are greeted with the 'Walk of Champions' that commemorates each of the SEC and National championships. Each championship recognizes the staff and players associated with the victory. To the right are statues of the coaches that have won championships as well. All around the stadium you can find merchandise vendors, food trucks and entertainment for before, during and after the game. Enter the stadium. This place is massive! Seating over 100k. Booming sound system...towering arena....huge home field advantage. Food vendors are typical of what you would find anywhere, and prices are on par with other stadiums. Note: this is the SEC, currently no alcohol being sold here. If you have never been to Bryant Denny do yourself a favor and add it to the list of must do's. If you are a fan of football you owe it to yourself to get here. For any other Bama fans...Roll Tide! read more

Bryant Denny Stadium - Stadium - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

I've been coming to Bryant Denny stadium for about 25 years and before now I have had nothing but great experiences. They recently adopted a clear bag policy, which means you can't bring in purses, diaper bags, backpacks, camera bags, etc. That's fine, what isn't fine is how the gate people are treating the fans. My brother, sister in law, and two nephews, who are 2 and 3 months old came all the way from Florida to watch a game. They have a young child who is on a healthy diet, so naturally they brought him healthy snacks. The stadium employees went through their bag and made them throw away the child's snacks and juice. The snacks were trail mix, fruit, apple juice, you know the usual. They obliged. They proceeded to search for food inside the stadium that their child could eat without any luck. They made their way to the seats and got about 15 minutes in until the child got hungry, they had to leave. When we went this past weekend a stadium employee told my cousin to throw her gum away and said "no food allowed." They are out of control. I looked up the stadium policies online and low and behold there's a picture of a clear bag with baby food and drinks in it. Hopefully someone will see this and pass the proper procedures along. That's horrible what they did. read more

The game day experience is off the charts and probably the best I have ever experienced. I have been here three times now and have enjoyed it, outside of my team getting their butts kicked. So parking for visitors is fairly easy. Best to park at the soccer fields ($20) and either walk or take a shuttle to the stadium. They let you tailgate at the soccer fields and give you plenty of room to do so, Spend some time walking around the quad and checking out the tailgating by the Gumps. It's not Barton Rouge but still pretty good. Also, in front of the stadium are the coaches statues and National Championship markers. Note, the 1964 one is made up and is really Arkansas'. So the inside of the stadium is first class. Decent logistics getting in and out, decent also with the concessions and restrooms. The atmosphere is great. Probably the loudest crowds I have ever experience. The Bama fans are nice to visiting fans (perhaps Auburn is an exception) and very respectable. Maybe some minor ribbing but that is to be expected. Highly recommend making this part of your football bucket list. read more

I feel slightly obligated to make a great review since this was my couch for every home game the past four years. It is the most magical place on Earth....don't let Disney World fool you. Sitting in the student section has to be the most annoying, cramped, crazy and AWESOME experience there is. When the Crimson Tide wins, Bryant-Denny is the best place to be. When the Crimson Tide loses, Bryant-Denny is still the best place to be, because the fans don't give up until the final second. Even when the football season is over, Bryant-Denny never ceases to amaze. A stadium tour takes you inside the locker rooms of both the visiting and home teams and you get to see the lockers of all of your favorite players, from any year. The lockers are labeled and in number order, so you can actually imagine which players are where for EVERY game. You also get a tour of the field and when that stadium is empty, it's a feeling of pure bliss. The club level fan zones are always a great place to have an organizational event, a wedding, or even watch the game. If you want to experience the best of Tuscaloosa, include Bryant-Denny Stadium in your itinerary. read more

Bryant, from Bryant & Stratton College, decided to work at Denny's. He was so good, that he'd get tips of 1,000 and 5,000 dollars just for bringing people tasteless plastic eggs. He used all his tip money to build the stadium - hence the name. First-Hand Experience: Info on my personal visit to this stadium - the day after my awesome Tusc concert, I came to check out BDS for the first time and oh my goodness, it's huge! So in 2013 I made it a point to make sure my drive-through coincided with a game, and I have to say, the atmosphere at Bryant Denny is one of the best I've ever experienced, anywhere. What. A. Stadium. And what a team too. Bama. It might be the best game day experience I've ever seen. They're amazing. Football is all that matters up here. And my show was excellent too. I've been to every cool stadium in the UK & North America, due to my obsession with travel & sport. I've toured America as a musician for 7 or 8 years. In that time, I've seen sports games at, or visited when empty (and usually both), at almost every major stadium in US and Canada. I have pictures of most which I will upload at some point. Also, on future travels, I plan to take new pix, and add more stadia! Watch this space! ***back to regular review*** This is an absolutely amazing stadium in Tuscaloosa, which is a town I've sung about (Feel Me On The Wind) and had a very successful concert in (2011), so I have a soft spot for it. It's an amazing place to watch football (grid iron) even though I don't really like to, but the intensity of the crowd here is unrivaled. If you ever get a chance to see a game here, please do. It's the 8th biggest stadium in the USA with over 102,000 fans allowed inside. Roll Tide! Actually, if the Crimson Tide is bothering you, then I recommend you Roll Midol instead. read more

One must go to Bryant-Denny to truly experience it. Over 101,000 fans fit in there and trust me when I say on a fall Saturday there is no place like it anywhere in the world. There's a reason that some call Bryant-Denny Stadium the "Mecca" of college football. read more

Alright I'll be the party pooper and be the first one to give the stadium less than five stars. And it's not because I went to Penn State and paid $250 to see my team get beaten up for four quarters back in September. Actually, my problem with Bryant Denny Stadium is the same problem I have with my team's stadium as well. It's definitely cool that these college stadiums continue to get bigger, but when they do, I think it causes logistical problems in the hallways. I went out to hit the bathroom at halftime and saw the same thing I see at PSU: overly crowded hallways with people in line getting food and other people having to squeeze by them to get to a bathroom or another food stand. It's a disaster, and I think it's because the stadium that was originally 60,000 is now over 100,000. But there's nothing wrong with four stars, the fans are loud and passionate but also cool to people from opposing teams. I'll never get "GO BAMA ... ROLL TIDE" out of my head, and that's not so bad. And, there's one thing I have to mention separately, the Dreamland BBQ Nachos. Chips, cheese, pulled pork and jalapenos = yes. I want them again, now. Minor structural crap aside, this a great stadium that any serious college football fan needs to visit. read more

Bryant Denny Stadium - Alabama-PSU under the lights - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Attended the 2007 LSU vs Alabama game for Saban Bowl I. So pre-100k expansion. As an LSU fan, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to welcome Coach Saban back in person for his first game against his old team. Having visited most of the SEC and a number of Pac 10 Stadiums Bryant Denny/Alabama was one of my more memorable trips. Pregame atmosphere (Friday night) was pretty good along University Blvd. It was also probably the most hostile Friday night atmosphere that i've experienced in person. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I went to Sun Devil Stadium and remember talking to a group of folks who didn't know there was a college football the next day.... As for game day itself, the tailgating was decent. Definitely better than Florida but a notch below Ole Miss. The area around Bryant Denny and the stadium are done very well. From the statues of National Championship winning coaches and the inside of BDS itself are really nice. Something where Tiger Stadium is definitely needing some work. Seriously, BDS standsout in terms of the quality of the stadium's condition on the inside. The atmosphere during game time is slightly above average. I never felt like the stadium ever got unhinged. It got decently loud when Javier Arenas ran back a PR for a TD, but aside from that, I never felt like crowd noise was ever a factor. Overall an above average gameday experience. Thankfully, didn't have to hear no Rammer Jammer after the game either. read more

I am the life enrichment director of a nursing home in Nashville, TN. One of our precious residents (and possible biggest AL fan) was nominated for the Wish Come True Award this year. I called Bryant Denny Stadium Tuesday before the game and let them know we were bringing a nursing home resident Saturday. I was told to go ahead and spend the money and buy the tickets and they would trade them in on game day for "comparable" seats in the wheelchair accessible section. We spent a couple of weeks making sure she would be able to make the trip, loaded her and her belongings onto the bus at 5:00am the morning of the AL vs. Western Carolina game, drove 5 1/2 hours to Tuscaloosa, paid $80 for parking, paid $334 for four tickets, pushed her in a wheelchair to Will Call so we could exchange the over $300 tickets for comparable ones. Our original tickets were section C, row 49. At the Will Call window they took our tickets and gave us 3 (not four like we gave them) tickets in section SS12. We had to take an elevator to the 8th level and didn't have enough seats. I called several numbers, emailed, and texted. I talked to two different ushers and an officer to try to get some help. I finally googled the best way to correct this HUGE injustice on Bryant Denny Stadiums behalf and found out I needed to wait until the athletic department opened on Monday. I just hung up with someone in that department who told me there's nothing they can do. I'm not asking for much. An apology or a little bit of a refund would have been ideal. You can bet the people at the Crimestoppers Wish Come True Department will hear all about how the employees at Bryant Denny made $334 for 4 seats from them and gave us 3 $6 seats calling it "comparable". This place is the most disgusting place. It's down right despicable to know they took advantage of our situation. The profile pic I used is the view from the seats we paid $334 for (top pic) and the bottom pic is the view from where they stuck us. read more

The University of Alabama has done an amazing job. I have been so impressed by the school and the city's ability to organize game day. From the updated websites, parking diagrams, information for visitors, they really have their stuff together. Why do so many thousands of people show up to see the events at Bryant-Denny? Here's a clue... it's not just the teams. These fans are here for tradition; whether it's a cupcake game or the iron bowl. Game day at Alabama is like the natal philopatry of deep sea turtles. Fans return their young to the place at which they were returned a generation before. From the bus system drivers that transport fans back and forth, to the crossing guards on Campus Dr, game day at Bryant-Denny is an experience everyone should have at least once in a lifetime. Sure they don't serve beer at the stadium, but at least you can still bring your kids. Isn't that really what it's all about? read more

The new stadium renovations have placed Bryant Denny in the top 5 largest stadiums with just over 100,000 seats. I was lucky enough to score some of the new field suite tickets for the first game of the year (SJSU) and it was an incredible experience. Although the seats were very low and practically on the field the atmosphere was amazing. The field suites have a hospitality area located behind the section with couches, flat screens, and endless amounts of delicious food. The liquor locker has to be the best idea ever and there was plenty of room to happily serve all 10 of our seats. Even non-Alabama supporters should be able to appreciate the design and layout of this beautiful stadium. read more

It doesn't matter what team you pull for, this place is impressive. College football is a religion in the south and many folks worship here. The stadium has grown from 70,000 to over 101,000 in just a couple of decades and they are still developing. With four big screens in each corner, you won't miss a minute of the action. Speaking of not missing anything... The stadium is open year around with tours and restaurants. Alabama fans are welcome to stop by (even during stupid basketball season) to enter the stadium and grab lunch. If you take a tour of football stadiums, be sure to put this place on your list. read more

Disclaimer: I went to the University of Alabama for undergrad. Therefore, it is possible that I might be biased. On the other hand, i have written only a handful of reviews of places located in Tuscaloosa, AL, and at least one of those wasn't a five star reivew (sorry City Cafe, you are nice and cheap, but so are most of the girls in Auburn). Ward S. put it best: Bryant-Denny is Southern football's mecca. It is also happens to be the home of the greatest football team to ever grace the planet. The fans are unquestionably amongst the most rabid in the United States, and the history and tradition of Alabama football only buttress the incredible natural high one receives from simply walking into the stadium. What of the stadium? It's intense, it's huge (one of the five largest in the nation), it's loud, and it's historic. Once, I was lucky enough to walk on the hallowed field. It remains one of the twenty most awesome moments of my life. To place levity on this comment, it ranks below running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain and a cut above my first threesome. While that probably only establishes that I'm incredibly ignorant (and a shameless hedonist to boot), hopefully, it also suggests that Alabama football is so seeped with tradition that merely plodding one's feet on the field brings forth feelings that simply cannot be described in the context of a Yelp review. If you have never been to an SEC football game, you will get it after an Alabama game. If you don't, then you are a lost soul (or a Trojans fan, but why repeat myself). Roll Tide. read more
