Tuscaloosa, AL — It was announced today that changes have been made to the Bryant-Denny Stadium field, which will assist in safety.

For those in attendance, or who watched via television last Saturday, Alabama linebacker, Dylan Moses, along with a university security worker collided against the stadium padded wall resulting in a stoppage of play. Moses ended up returning to the field of play, but it appeared the worker took the brunt of the collision as he was helped off while walking with a limp.

Alabama Athletic Director, Greg Byrne voiced his pleasure on Twitter along with a photo of the new changes — and noticeable room — to the corners of Bryant-Denny.

Great job by our Facilities & Operations Team!
