Fans at Alabama football’s Saturday game against Arkansas were treated to a partial solar eclipse inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. The event didn’t have much impact on brightness in the stadium, and none on the game, which went to a TV timeout.

The crowd kept up a jovial mood throughout the eclipse. That was helped by the stadium operations team, which started a stadium karaoke rendition of Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart, in perhaps the most obvious move in music selection history.

Tuscaloosa was not on the path of totality for Saturday’s eclipse. According to a social media post from meteorologist James Spann, the sun was about 58% obscured at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Nick Saban was asked Wednesday how he was planning on preparing his players for the possible distraction during the game. He turned the answer into a joke about technology.

“I think you have to prepare your team for every distraction,” Saban said. “I actually think we should — the best way to do that would be to text it to them, so they can read it on their phones. Sometimes they don’t listen, but if you text it to them, they’ll read it. That might be a new technique that we try. We’ll text them what they’re supposed to do on the field, they’ll probably get it then.”

Saturday’s eclipse was an annular eclipse, as opposed to a total eclipse. The two events are similar, except the moon is at its furthest point from earth in its orbit during the annular eclipse, so it does not completely block out the sun.

Instead of total darkness, viewers where the eclipse was most pronounced were able to see a “ring of fire” of the sun peeking around the moon.

The Alabama-Arkansas game is being aired on ESPN.
