Nick Saban will be honored at the University of Alabama as the legendary head football coach will have the field inside Bryant-Denny Stadium named after him.
He possesses an 8-0 record at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta (Ga.), which includes four Southeastern Conference Championships and a College Football Playoff National Championship in the 2017 season. MBS joked on social media about not naming its facility after Saban, yet Alabama football responded to it with a suggestion to rename the venue.

‘Saban Field’ at Bryant-Denny East was the suggestion to MBS from Alabama football via X.
