Saban: Alabama to Alter Stadium After Player Impact

Courtney Cameron Headshot

Earlier this week, Alabama Crimson Tide head football coach Nick Saban announced improvements to Bryant-Denny Stadium that will address safety concerns for the players and stadium staff.

This comes after an incident at Saturdayā€™s game wherein Alabama linebacker Dylan Moses took a spill through the end zone, colliding with a security guardā€™s knees before impacting the wall that closely borders the playing field.

Moses finished the game with a bruised muscle, while the security guard was helped off the field. ā€œI feel sorry for him,ā€ said Moses. "If it wasn't for him, I'd probably be in the hospital right now because he was really in between the wall and me.ā€

According to ESPN, this is not the first time the stadium layout has proved problematic, though Saban said his eyes were opened by the recent play. ā€œThey're going to try to do some stuff to the stadium there to shave that little corner off a little bit and pad it up a little better,ā€ he said.
