Hundreds of fans braved the freezing temperatures and a brisk wind that blew outside Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday morning for the University of Alabama's national championship celebration.
Highlighted by a short parade route from Denny Chimes to the Walk of Champions, the Crimson Tide football staff and coaching staff soaked in the adoration of several hundred fans during the 43-minute celebration. The fans, who lined up outside the north end zone of the stadium, watched highlight videos, listened to the Million Dollar Band and heard short speeches from UA coach Nick Saban, UA president Stuart Bell, Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey and from the four UA team captains Derrick Henry, Reggie Ragland, Ryan Kelly and Jake Coker.
