Visit http://uagameday.com/football or read the latest game-day email regarding parking, tailgating and traffic; how to stay in the know via Facebook, Twitter and UA’s mobile website; and how to stay safe during inclement weather or other emergencies.
- “SportsCenter” and “College GameDay” Roadblocks — From 7 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15, roadblocks will be in place at 12th Avenue and University Boulevard and at Stadium Drive and University Boulevard.
- Stadium Entrance — The student section will open 2 1/2 hours before the game. Students should allow 60 to 90 minutes to get into the stadium, whether or not they participate in student organization seating. Student organization seating is in effect until 45 minutes before kickoff. Students may enter the stadium through Gate 30 (upper deck) and Gate 31 (lower deck) only.
- Prohibited Items — Bryant-Denny Stadium and all other Alabama athletics facilities prohibit the following items:
Oversized bags over 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches (includes backpacks, purses, etc.)
Chair backs larger than a single seat (16 inches wide)
Coolers
Weapons
Artificial noisemakers (bells, horns, whistles, cow bells, etc.)
Outside food or drink
Strollers
Umbrellas
Video recorders or camcorders
Computers
Cameras with telephoto lenses over 6 inches long
Flags and banners on poles
- Bag Boxes — Fans can check the dimensions of their bags at one of the new bag boxes located at stadium gates and in high traffic areas across campus, such as bus stops, the University Supply Store and the information RV. The boxes were constructed to help create a consistent size-standard for bags allowed into Bryant-Denny Stadium. If a bag fits inside the box, then it will be allowed into the stadium.
- Stadium Express Lanes — Express Lanes are located at gates 10, 18, 36 and 38 to help the flow of people entering the stadium on game days. Fans with tickets in the lower bowl of the stadium on the east and west sides who do not have any items that have to be checked by stadium security can gain access into the stadium through these special gates without having to wait for bag or certain other item searches. Fans in those areas are still required to enter via the gates designated on their tickets but, within their gate assignment, now there is an Express Lane gate. Read the “Battle Plan” for details.
- Library Hours — Gorgas Library will be closed Saturday, Nov. 15. Rodgers Library will be open 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Electronic resources are available 24/7 on or off campus.
- University Supply Store Game-Day Hours — The University Supply Store locations will be open as follows on Saturday, Nov. 15:
Ferguson Center: 8 a.m.-2 p.m.

Bryant Museum: 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
- Bryant Museum Game-Day Hours — The Bryant Museum will be open on Saturday, Nov. 15, from 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
- 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 game day. Reserving all other campus areas is not permitted until after 5 p.m. on Thursday evenings prior to game day. 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 the removal of personal taping and property.
