9. Bryant-Denny Stadium

College football is religion in the Deep South. And there is no program in that particular region of the U.S. quite like the Alabama Crimson Tide. Professional sports didn’t arrive in the region until Atlanta got a few teams in the late 1960s, which means college athletics still dominate the sports conversation.

Bryant-Denny Stadium has been home to the Crimson Tide football team since 1929. Alabama has won an absurd number of National Championships since then, partly thanks to the raucous home field advantage it enjoys at Bryant-Denny.

The passion Alabama fans have for their football is such that some will never, ever, miss a snap of Crimson Tide football. They love their team and will ridicule anybody the Crimson Tide come up against. If doing that requires draggin themselves out of the grave for a few hours on a Saturday afternoon, then so be it.

Bryant-Denny was also home to arguably the greatest head coach in college football history, Paul “Bear” Bryant. Bryant dominated the SEC from the 1960s to his untimely death in the early 1980s. Alabama football is an institution, and Bryant is the patron saint of all that is holy with the Crimson Tide. You better believe he’s still hanging around his old stadium.
