While preparing for the 2026-2027 football season, Bryant-Denny Stadium underwent many stadium changes over the spring and summer. These changes include updated gate numbers, section names and skyboxes.

Bryant-Denny now showcases its new sleek and charcoal signage for fans ahead of the season opener against East Carolina on Sep. 5.

According to Alabama Athletics, these new stadium changes are supposed to ensure better instructions on how to find your seat for staff and fans. Gate numbers are “more straightforward” and have been restructured from the east to west in the stadium.

Upper + lower bowl gates have been changed to three digits to match the floor levels they are aligned with. The premium seating + skyboxes now have cardinal designations + three-digit numbers that also go along with the section they are seated.

Row numbers + seat numbers did not change. All seats that fans selected tickets for will remain the same.
