UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA CELEBRATES BRYANT-DENNY STADIUM ADDITIONS

TUSCALOOSA, ALA – The University of Alabama Athletics Department unveiled statues of its four nationalchampionship coaches Thursday, August 31 on the newly constructed Bryant-Denny Stadium Plaza.

The Crimson Tide also dedicated the new North End Zone expansion, which increased the capacity of thestadium to 92,138 and includes 38 new skyboxes, a club area and two new two Jumbotrons.

The families of coaches Wallace Wade, Frank Thomas, Paul W. Bryant and Gene Stallings were on hand forthe unveiling of the statues.

Wade was the first to bring a national title to Tuscaloosa, winning championships in 1925, 1926 and 1930.

“They unveiled the street name a couple of years ago and now the statue,” Clifford Lynch, Wade’sGrandson in-law said. “It really helps bring his memory back up again. It seems like it laid dormant for awhile. Now the statue is kind of overwhelming.”

Wade was followed by Thomas who added titles in 1934 and 1941.

“This is certainly an honor and I’m very proud of my father,” Frank Thomas, Jr. said. “I’m very honored thatMal Moore, President (Robert E.) Witt and the rest of the athletic department were able to do this to honorhim. My father looked so young on the statue that I almost didn’t recognize him.”

Bryant won six national titles during his record breaking career, guiding his team to the top in 1961, 1964,1965, 1973, 1978 and 1979. His son, Paul Bryant, Jr. said that stadium expansion was timely as well asneeded.

“It is exciting to see this project completed,” Bryant, Jr. said. “But the big thing is that Coach Moore hadthe foresight to start on all the athletic facilities, including the stadium, at a time when things were a littlebleak. The fans, alumni and supporters of the University bought in and agreed to help at a time when weneeded it.”

Bryant also praised the University’s administration, in particular President Witt.

“Dr. Witt played a big role as well,” Bryant said. “He embraced the entire project and has really had a bigimpact on the athletic department’s financial situation. The timing of Dr. Witt’s arrival has been key.”

Stallings won his title by going undefeated in 1992 with a run capped by a decisive and memorable 34-13win over Miami in the 1993 Sugar Bowl.

“To have this after having the equipment room named for (his son) John Mark (Stallings) is just mind-bog-gling,” Stallings said. “Obviously, the game is about the players and I was blessed with good players andcoaches. Those other guys won several National Championships and I just won one. It never entered mymind that something like this would ever happen.”

Paul W. Bryant, Jr. (Son of Coach Paul W. Bryant)“It is exciting to see this project completed, but the big thing is that Coach (Mal) Moore had the foresight tostart on all the athletic facilities, including the stadium, at a time when things were a little bleak.

“Dr. Witt played a big role as well. He embraced the entire project and has really had a big impact on theathletic department’s financial situation. The timing of Dr. Witt’s arrival has been key.”

Coach Gene Stallings (Led Alabama to the 1992 National Title)“To have this after having the equipment room named for John Mark is just mind-boggling. Obviously, thegame is about the players and I was blessed with good players and coaches. Those other guys won severalNational Championships and I just won one. It never entered my mind that something like this would everhappen.”

Clifford Lynch (Grandson in-law of Wallace Wade)“They unveiled the street name (Wallce Wade Avenue - west side of Bryant-Denny Stadium) a couple ofyears ago and now the statue; it really helps bring his memory back up again. It seems like it laid dormantfor a while. Now the statue is kind of overwhelming.”

Frank Thomas, Jr. (Son of Frank Thomas)“This is certainly an honor and I’m very proud of my father. I’m very honored that Mal Moore, PresidentWitt and the rest of the athletic department were able to do this to honor him. My father looked so youngon the statue that I almost didn’t recognize him.”
