Alabama football responds to Mercedes-Benz Stadium via social media on not naming facility after Nick Saban

Nick Saban will be honored at the University of Alabama as the legendary head football coach will have the field inside Bryant-Denny Stadium named after him.

He possesses an 8-0 record at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta (Ga.), which includes four Southeastern Conference Championships and a College Football Playoff National Championship in the 2017 season. MBS joked on social media about not naming its facility after Saban, yet Alabama football responded to it with a suggestion to rename the venue.
