Parking

With all the new construction and exciting things happening on The University of Alabama campus this year, there will be some changes in Gameday parking for the 2007 Football Season. The University of Alabama is working hard to utilize all available parking for their fans. The University of Alabama has also implemented the new Crimson Ride Transit system that will service students throughout the week and fans on Gameday.

While making your travel plans to and from Tuscaloosa, please make special note of all the enhancements and changes in parking from last year.

NEW FOR ’07 - ALL SPOTS SOLD OUT FOR SEASON Reserve your spot in the new paved Soccer lot. It is located on University Boulevard (across from Arby’s), which has convenient service from the Crimson Ride Transit System to and from the Quad. The Crimson Ride will begin running gameday routes starting approximately three hours before scheduled kickoff. The price for a season parking pass in the Soccer lot is $70 plus $10 shipping and handling charges.

CHANGES IN PUBLIC PARKING FOR 2007

Please make note of the following parking areas that will NOT be open to public parking on gameday due to on-campus construction, road changes and the new Crimson Ride Transit System:

• Shelby Hall – grass areas and certain paved areas

• All student residential parking areas

• Ferguson Deck (all levels will be for student residential parking only)

• Campus Drive Deck (now a reserved deck)

Due to the implementation of the Crimson Ride Transit System and post-game traffic one-way streets, street-side parking has been eliminated in the following areas:

• University Boulevard

• Stadium Drive

• Marr’s Spring Road

• Campus Drive (East and West)

• 9th Avenue (west side of the Quad)

• Hackberry Lane
• Devotie Drive
• 7th Avenue (north of Campus Drive West)
• West 4th Street
• 2nd Street (east and west of McCorvey Drive)

*For safety reasons, once all parking spaces are taken within an area on campus, UA Parking Services may elect to close the area. If sufficient parking spaces re-open, UA Parking Services may re-open the area for additional parking.

*Please note that parking on sidewalks or blocking handicap accessible ramps will NOT be allowed. For the 2007 season, 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.

*In order to give all fans the same opportunity to park on or around campus, please do not use chairs or other tailgating items to reserve parking spaces. Any unattended items will be considered abandoned and may be removed.

There will also be other areas for public parking on the east portion of the UA campus. The following lots will be $10 per vehicle on Gameday and sold on a first come first served basis. We encourage fans that plan on parking in these lots to enter campus via Campus Drive and then to turn left onto 5th Avenue East. This will help ensure a quick travel time from McFarland Boulevard.

• Grass lot located at the corner of University Boulevard and 5th Avenue East

• Grass area surrounding the new Soccer lot

• Grass area behind the Old Capstone Medical building

Only vehicles with permits for the following parking areas will be allowed access onto the closed portion of University Boulevard - Elm Street, Rose Administration, 6th Avenue (east of the Quad), Capstone Drive, 8th Street, Stadium Handicap and the President’s Mansion. For example, if you have a parking pass in the ten Hoor area, please use Campus Drive or Marr’s Spring Road to access these lots.
