Bryant-Denny Stadium Historical Animation

Historical Animation for Bryant-Denny Stadium from it's original construction in 1929 through present day.

[@tedstriker7248]

In 2020, the third deck was added, raising the capacity to 200,000.

[@sam21462]

Actually the next renovation will lower the capacity. It's to make room for the massive jumbotron.

[@michaeldinsdale5267]

Sam M do you know what sarcasm is?

[@sam21462]

Michael Dinsdale - Yeah man, picked up on that, just thought you would find it interesting. I'm so sorry to fluff your delicate feathers.

[@michaeldinsdale5267]

Sam M it’s ok, not all of us can comprehend when people are joking.

[@sam21462]

Michael Dinsdale - I take pride in having great sense of humor, or, as my wife would put it, I'm basically an idiot. I do absolutely agree, however, that humor, especially sarcasm, is like walking in an internet minefield.

Terrific stadium, nice fans, I took a road trip with friends to see our team play. Terrific experience, and don’t forget to have lunch at Dreamland prior to the game.

[@gocygo63]

Agreed. Great animation, but sounded like some Nazi concentration camp.

[@BAYAREA-kd1ig]

@@jonathandaniel7424 Exactly. Call me naive, use the Alabama Fight Song or Sweet Home Alabama instead of the sound track for Schindlers List.

[@tigerwareagle1485]

My mom was at The University of Alabama in 1988 when they put up the west upper deck. It's amazing to see how much work people put into building this grand giant. I remember when Houston played Bama in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. I was sitting with my mom and grandmother. Was pulling for my Cougars, but had to root for Bama as well for my mother.

Nice history! Thanks for posting! Ohio Stadium turns 100 years old this season….initial capacity 66k…also had dormitories in it for the honor students. Much like this stadium, a lot of the initial support and architecture is now changed out or built over. I hope to see it some day!

Is this place haunted? Whats up with that music

[@Britton_Thompson]

Yep. Opponents have been known to run screaming from the stadium after 60 minutes of play, with most suffering recurring nightmares for the rest of their lives. Just ask Leonard Fournette.

[@barneshomestead1240]

There's nothing quite like a Bryant-Denny Saturday.

[@sirtruckerw146]

I may be wrong but in the early days the goal post would been in front end zone line..just saying

[@jiveassturkey8849]

Yes, before 1927 they were on the goal line in college football.

[@stevenfarnesi9126]

What's with the depressing music

[@Britton_Thompson]

Great animatic with a thoroughly researched history. The level of detail on the stadium itself is remarkable. However, it neglects too much of it's surroundings. Other than the stadium itself and a few disproportionately tiny houses placed just outside of it, your video gives the impression of it being constructed in a remote destination with no other signs of human civilization having ever touched it. There are no roads or campus institutional buildings where they would be if you were studying an overhead photograph. By the end of the video, it appeared as if this structure was rising up out some desolate forest somewhere, completely undiscovered by humanity. Other than that, this is a very solid animatic.

gally turndrop No, you fat fuck dumbass. You don't even know what the hell you're talking about. "Animatic" is the correct term. An 'animatic' is the A/V term for a digitally rendered virtual scene that demonstrates a time lapse

[@antonchigurh5654]

This video takes my breath away. Absolutely fantastic. The highest quality animation. And the stadium is glorious. Congratulations. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@hiramlofton9464]

Great presentation! From humble beginnings to now. And now for something completely different! The MUSIC? I swear I fully expected Jesus to come down in a fiery chariot with a passenger. Outsteps Bear Bryant on a special altar built just for him...and Jesus. They smile and bless the stadium. At future games, if Alabama loses, the visiting team breaks out in sores and pox as the final horn sounds. Really, I did...well not really, but it would have been cool.

[@mckinleycason8884]

It would work for me!

[@spectreracing]

I remember running all of the conduit for the media press boxes in 2009 before i deployed to Afghanistan. If you’re ever watching a game and it cuts to the media boxes, all of that conduit under the windows, i hung every bit of that lol

Left out the fact that in 1975, the Alabama legislators passed bill to add the current Alabama football coach's name onto the stadium. That was Paul Bear Bryant. Don't you ever forget that boy.

So, the bowl wasn't complete until 1966... and in the movie, Forrest Gump played there during the Kennedy Administration... meaning that the depiction of Denny Stadium as a bowl was an anachronism. Cool.

[@Purplexity-ww8nb]

Your depictions of the football field goal posts are not accurate until the mid-70's. The uprights used to be on the goal lines with a single goal post at 2.5 yards deep into the end zone. Very early fields had an H-shaped goal post situated on the goal line.

[@BamaRewind]

You're right about the shape of the goalposts, but mistaken about the location. Only the NFL had goal posts in the middle of the end zone. They've been at the back of the end zone in college for at least a century.

[@themontgomeryc]

I'm a Tide alum and fan, but I have never liked the upper decks in the north and south ends. They don't match the side decks and there's no way to join them. The upper rows are actually above the lights. Looks like a mistake.

[@BamaFan-vc4gn]

something doesn't seem right about this. I am 56 and have a vivid memories of visiting a football stadium at The U of A that was a complete bowl but was nothing but cyclone fencing and aluminum seating... this was around 1971-72 when Bama played most of it games in Birmingham. I recall this vividly.

[@NVRAMboi]

Your memory is right. It was only a complete lower bowl at that time (60k) with chained-link fencing around the entire turfed area (a concrete walkway all the way around outside the fencing) with "swingaway" fencing at the SW(home) and SE (?) tunnels where the teams entered the stadium. The animation has taken some small license but the big stuff is right.
