What could the future hold for Bryant-Denny Stadium and Coleman Coliseum?
There's no room left for football national championship plaques on the Walk of Champions outside Bryant-Denny Stadium. Coleman Coliseum, home to Alabama's basketball and gymnastics teams, is showing its age at 50 years old.
Details about the future of each facility have been scarce, but Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne recently shared his thoughts in an interview with AL.com's Lauren Sisler.
"We have to continue to reinvest in our success and see what our next steps are," Byrne said. "Sometimes they're just little minor projects, sometimes they're bigger ones."
"We don't have a secret pot of gold where all of a sudden you write a check and you build a $200 million facility. We have to have a model that works between fundraising, ticket sales and maybe some bonding to pull this off and make this thing work. That's what we're trying to balance right now."
