University of Alabama trainers' collapsible tent preserves privacy at games

You may have noticed a little something different on the University of Alabama football sideline this season. It's crimson and white, and it's making evaluations and privacy much easier for head trainer Jeff Allen and for the players under his care.

It's the player privacy tent, which allows Allen and his fellow trainers to evaluate players in private without the distraction of a game, fans and other players disrupting the diagnosis.

Allen, who you see every week at the game even if you don't know who he is, is the first one on the field when an Alabama player suffers an injury.
