The post-Nick Saban era is off to a rough start for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
While you can usually count on raucous crowds even during spring games for Alabama football, the most recent photo surfacing leaves a lot to be desired.
The crowd was notably sparse on Saturday for Alabama’s spring game.
Once the 2024 season kicks off in the fall, Alabama’s renowned fanbase guarantees packed stadiums for every home game.

Despite the modest turnout for the spring game, it’s unlikely to foreshadow the energy of the regular season matchups.
Typically, spring games are perceived as mere scrimmages, lacking the stakes that draw crowds.
Fans can easily catch up on standout performances online after the game concludes.
This spring game holds significance as the first without Nick Saban at the helm following his retirement after the 2023 season.
Saban’s departure led to the hiring of Kalen DeBoer from Washington, where he recently guided the Huskies to the National Championship Game which resulted in a loss to Michigan.
Alabama finished the 2023 season with a 12-2 record, falling to Michigan in overtime in the College Football Playoff Semifinal.
