- Tailgating Reminder — Tailgating is an important part of every football season, especially on the Quad. Following campus policy for tailgating helps to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable experience. Friday is a regular academic day at UA, and classes are still in session until 6 p.m.; therefore, reserving areas for personal tailgates on the Quad is not permitted until after 6 p.m. on Fridays prior to home games. Reserving all other campus areas is not permitted until after 5 p.m. on Thursday evenings prior to home games. The only areas that are permitted to be reserved prior to these times are those that have been approved in advance through the campus grounds-use permit process. Violating campus policy can result in personal property being removed. For more detailed information, click on the following links:

Taxis will be located on University Boulevard between Red Drew Avenue (14th Avenue) and Campus Drive (12th Avenue) and will be monitored by the Tuscaloosa Police Department. “Taxi Only” signs and yellow cones will block the spaces from other vehicles. Taxis will be located in this area after all home UA football games until the following morning.
