ICYMI: Alabama on Top of the World—Literally
For the annual A-Day Game, 92,310 Alabama fans, students, and alumni packed into Bryant Denny Stadium on April 16, 2011. The event broke records for spring game attendances nationwide. It was a chance for everyone to see what Alabama would have to offer in the upcoming season. Little did anyone know that the face and infrastructure of Tuscaloosa and the state of Alabama would be dramatically altered in just 11 days.
Wednesday April 27, 2011. The day started out just like any other. Men and women in Tuscaloosa and across the state went to work and kids went to school.
