Former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban was a very special part of the Morgan Wallen concert on Saturday night in Bryant-Denny Stadium, an event many across the state have been anticipating for months.
Every time Wallen performs, he brings a celebrity or prominent figure to walk out of the tunnel with him, with fans trying to guess who it could be before the show.
For his first show in Tuscaloosa, Wallen could not have picked a better guest for fans to go wild over, taking the tunnel with the GOAT.
Wallen, a noted Tennessee fan, brought out Peyton Manning when he performed in Neyland Stadium, and Saban now gets to add his name to the list of guests who have had the honor.
The concert itself — which was the first one Bryant-Denny held in more than three decades — seemed to be a huge success as well.
If Tuscaloosa can continue to establish itself as a premier music destination for A-list country stars, Wallen will likely not be the last concert Bryant-Denny hosts.
