After a long, long time, it has finally happened. We had a concert at Bryant Denny Stadium, and it was a big success.

All indications from everyone I reached out to at the University of Alabama are that it was a great evening. I have personally touched base with a few people who are on the inside of such meetings. I'm hearing all good things. OK, we know it wasn't 100% perfect. One drunk can cause lots of issues, but you can also see that on a random Saturday in the fall.

Let me just make a couple of points here. In Tuscaloosa, we don’t have oil money. We don’t have oil Wells. Texas has that all day long. We don’t have the chairman of Nike as a former graduate, now booster, and NIL supporter like Oregon.

Just look at Indiana, the reigning national champ.
Even they have that billionaire former NBA owner, Mark Cuban, helping to fund their NIL

We need to use every possible revenue stream that we have to remain competitive in major college football.
Now we have a viable and fun way to contribute to our NIL.

So, WHO IS NEXT AT BRYANT-DENNY STADIUM?

I wanna make it clear that none of these are confirmed in any way. These are simply rumors and suggestions from fellow Alabamians.

Of course, one of the first names that comes to mind is Taylor Swift. Taylor has done many stadiums, and the beauty of what we have in Tuscaloosa is that it’s an iconic venue.

Artists want to say that they played at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.

Some other suggestions include Kenny Chesney, Zach Bryan, Metallica, and Garth Brooks.
Those are just a few that I have heard about or seen on social media in recent days. Nothing is confirmed at this moment, but I'm hearing an announcement could be coming soon.
