For people who use a wheelchair, accessible parking is located at the lot on Wallace Wade Ave. (#1 on the www.uagameday.com parking map), the Communications Card Lot (#2 on the www.uagameday.com parking map) and the new wheelchair accessible parking lot located on the Southside of the Stadium at Calvary Baptist Church (#3 on the www.uagameday.com parking map). Parking in all of these lots will be FREE on A-Day. All other parking for people with disabilities is located at the Campus Drive Deck (Campus Drive Parking Deck at the Hackberry Lane and Campus Drive intersection). We are pleased that we will be able to offer more services at this location and more parking space is available to accommodate the fans. This deck serves at the hub for the Crimson Ride transit system. Restroom facilities are conveniently located in the Campus Drive Deck.

Downtown Tuscaloosa Parking The Downtown Intermodal Facility will also be offered for public parking for A-Day and it is FREE OF CHARGE. This area is located downtown in and it is a shorter distance to the stadium than Lot A on campus. This parking deck has over 400 spaces and is located on 23rd Avenue between 6th and 7th St., just behind City Hall, between University Blvd and Bryant Dr. There are many restaurant and shopping options in the areas surrounding the parking deck.

In addition, there are many other parking lots and side-street parking spaces that are free of charge near the Intermodal Facility. You may park there and walk to the bus pick-up or take the Stadium Stroll to Bryant Denny Stadium.

Please note that parking on sidewalks or blocking handicap accessible ramps will NOT be allowed. This will be strictly enforced and vehicles found in violation will be subject to being towed at their expense. Also, parking in post-game exit routes, transit lanes or areas indicated as no parking zones is prohibited. Violators are subject to having their vehicles towed at their expense.

Traffic Tip for A-Day​

Prior to past A-Day games, we have seen a significant amount of traffic back up where I-459 merges onto I-20/59 in the Bessemer/McCalla area. Please prepare accordingly. Here are two possible alternates:​

• Avoid I-459 by driving through downtown Birmingham. You can merge onto I-20/59 here to take it all the way to Tuscaloosa.
• On I-459, consider taking exit 1. From here, you can take CO Rd. 20 (Old Tuscaloosa Highway) and take an alternate on ramp to I-20/59 or merge onto Highway 216 (Old Birmingham Highway) which will go all the way to Tuscaloosa, eventually becoming 15th St.
