Parking for an Alabama home game at Bryant-Denny Stadium is one of the hardest parts of game day in Tuscaloosa. More than 100,000 fans head to campus on a Saturday, the lots closest to the stadium go to permit holders and donors, and the rest of the spaces nearby fill up hours before kickoff. This guide covers your options and how to lock in a spot before you leave home.

Bryant-Denny Stadium Parking Options
There are three main ways fans park for Alabama football:
- Campus permit and donor parking. Most University of Alabama lots near the stadium require a game day permit, which usually comes with season tickets or donor status. If you don't have one, plan on parking somewhere else.
- Private driveways, yards, and lots. Homes and businesses in the neighborhoods around campus rent out parking on game days. This is often the closest option you can get without a permit.
- Parking farther out. Spaces farther from campus are easier to find, but you'll pay with a long walk or a wait for a ride after the game.
