Alabama Football Fan Day Returns: Roll Call, July 31, 2024
The Alabama Crimson Tide football program announced the return of its annual fan day practice. The Crimson Tide will hold a practice on Saban Field inside Bryant-Denny Stadium on Sunday, Aug. 11 at 11:15 a.m. and will conclude with an autograph session exclusive to those with "Yea Alabama" tickets.
This is the second year in a row the autograph session is limited to members of Alabama's NIL collective. Practice will be two hours and may be a popular outing as it'll be the last time to see the Crimson Tide before Alabama's first live game under head coach Kalen DeBoer against Western Kentucky.
