Bryant-Denny Stadium has been named the top sports destination in Alabama by the Alabama Tourism Department.
This designation is the result of 712,747 visitors passing through its gates in 2015.
Although that was a drop from the 785,418 people who entered the stadium in 2014, it was still enough to put it above Jordan-Hare Stadium at Auburn University.
Auburn's facility came in as the second most visited sports destination in the state, with 612,157 visitors in 2015.
Coincidentally, this exact same number of visitors was reported at Jordan-Hare in 2014.
“We are thrilled to be the home of the one and only Bryant-Denny Stadium and are extremely proud that it was named the top sports destination in the state," said Brandt Garrison LaPish, director of communication and public relations for Tuscaloosa Tourism & Sports.
The Birmingham Barons placed third in sports attractions with 444,639 visitors, up from the 437,612 people who attended its home baseball games in 2014.
The Talladega Superspeedway came in fourth with 375,000 visitors, which was an increase from the 350,000 visitors in 2014.
As for other state attractions, more than 658,000 people visited the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville last year, ranking it No. 1 among state attractions that charge admission.
It was followed by the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail with 580,221 visitors and then the Birmingham Zoo with 576,974 visitors.
Tourism officials said seven of the state's Top Ten attractions that charge admission showed an increase in attendance over previous years, based on attendance figures collected by the Alabama Tourism Department through local tourism organizations.
Beaches of the Alabama Gulf Coast were the number one natural destination in the state, attracting 5.9 million visitors last year.
The Birmingham Botanical Gardens saw 350,000 visitors, making it the most attended free attraction.
And more than 1 million people celebrated Mobile's Mardi Gras making it the most attended event.
