Alabama Crimson Tide (1915–1929) |
The venue opened in 1915, and was originally named University Field.[2] It was rededicated as Denny Field on October 9, 1920, prior to the third game of the 1920 season against Birmingham–Southern.[4] Named in honor of former Alabama president George H. Denny, at that time official Denny Field signage was unveiled and it was noted that the name was selected due to Dr. Denny's continued support of the growth of the athletic program at Alabama.[4]
During its tenure as the team's home field, Alabama amassed an overall record of 43 wins to only 2 losses. It was replaced by Denny Stadium, now known as Bryant–Denny Stadium, in 1929.[5]
