By: University of Alabama Athletics

On Saturday, Sept. 7, the University of Alabama will formally dedicate Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium with pregame and halftime ceremonies in addition to several commemorative items celebrating the occasion.

The Honorary Degrees and Recognition Committee of the University of Alabama System board of trustees unanimously passed a resolution on July 19 approving the naming honor, and the board of trustees will formally adopt the resolution and present it to Saban at its September meeting later this week.

Saturday’s first ceremony, scheduled for approximately 2:30 p.m., will take place at the head of the Walk of Champions on University Boulevard where the stadium sign will be unveiled following remarks from University President Dr. Stuart R. Bell, Director of Athletics Greg Byrne and former head football coach Nick Saban.
