The Case For a Bear Bryant Statue at Kroger Field

Since Mark Stoops commanded the helm of Kentucky football in 2013, the program has undergone a massive overhaul. Commonwealth Stadium is now Kroger Field, to the tune of a $126 million renovation. Kentucky players, coaches, and supporting staff have a new day-to-day home in the state-of-the-art Joe Craft Football Training Facility, following 19 months of construction and a $45 million investment. Recruiting has been at an all-time high, matched only by the general excitement felt by fans, media, and UK personnel that carries through each passing season and the summers in between. In short, this is not your grandfather’s Kentucky football.
