| FTBL Walk of Champions

[Guest]

Where do they do it? How early before a game does it take place? Thanks, RTR.

The walk of Champions is both something takes place AND it is a place. The Walk of Champions is the strip of championships that Alabama has won placed in concrete plaques on the ground. This area is surrounded by statues of all of the coaches in Alabama history who have won championships at Alabama. This walk leads you directly into Bryant Denny Stadium. I don't remember exactly the time that the players come off the bus and walk through the Walk of Champions but it is something that you will want to see. If I remember right it was about 2 hours before kick off.

Yup usually just at 2 hours before kickoff. Get there early if you want a good spot.

Here's a picture of the Walk of Champions if you don't head BAMA JAMMA's advice...

Don't expect any warm fuzzies, waves or smiles. And you know what? Believe it or not I'm completely fine with that now. I want them more focused than ever this Sat.

Most were pretty focused during the UK walk but there were a few giving out slight "hi-fives" or hand slaps. I got to shake Mt.Cody's hand and was like woah due to him towering over me :shock: :lol: . CNS broke a smile or two....for very briefly of course :lol: .

But yeah, if its your first time you might think the players are being rude or "dissing" the fans by wearing the ear phones and such but its all because the coach wants them focused on one thing before entering that stadium.

Obviously, your Walk of Champions is much more impressive, but NC State tried that with Chuck Amato and it never worked back in my college days.

Thanks, for some reason I didn't realize that strip with the statues was called the Walk of Champions as well. By the size of that crowd I dunno if we'll be there or not, but thanks again, RTR.
