Here are the enhancements for UA Men’s Basketball events at Coleman Coliseum; these changes were designed to enhance the safety and convenience for all fans.

Traffic

  • Click here to check out the traffic routes that will get you to Tuscaloosa and Coleman Coliseum. 
  • Electronic signs will be placed on Bryant Drive alerting fans to the public and permit only parking areas.
  • Electronic signs within the Coleman Coliseum parking lot will help to better identify specific parking areas and pedestrian pathways.
  • Several attendants will be directing traffic inside the Coleman Coliseum parking lot to provide a smooth and efficient entry and exit.
  • For those fans that park in the Moody Music Building parking lot (on the corner of Bryant Drive and 2nd Avenue), turn right when leaving the lot for an efficient exit.

Parking

  • Remember, Coleman Coliseum and surrounding areas such as Coliseum Drive and the Bryant Drive parking lot are reserved for permit holders only.  Click here to view a list of the parking permits allowed. 
  • The new Soccer lot located off of University Boulevard is now available for Coleman Coliseum athletic event parking.  For your convenience, starting one hour before tip-off, the Crimson Ride transit system will run a direct route that will transport fans from the Soccer Lot to the front of Coleman Coliseum.  After the game, the buses will pick up directly in front of the coliseum near the steps.  This service is FREE of charge for all fans.  We encourage you to ride the Crimson Ride to Coleman Coliseum; however, if you decide to walk from the Soccer lot, please remember to use the designated sidewalks and crosswalks.  There is a designated pedestrian pathway that will lead you safely to and from the intersection of Paul W. Bryant Drive and 2nd Avenue to Coleman Coliseum. The designated pedestrian pathway from 2nd Avenue will lead to a sidewalk and crosswalk that will allow you to cross safely to Coleman Coliseum. There will also be directional signs and attendants to assist you.
  • For evening athletic events, additional light sources will be added in the Coleman Coliseum parking lot to enhance pedestrian safety, particularly the area adjacent to Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
  • Several attendants will be at each event to direct pedestrian traffic across Bryant Drive to and from the Coliseum, as well as within designated areas in the Coleman Coliseum parking lot.
  • Please remember there is no parking on sidewalks or yellow curbs in and around the University campus during athletic events.

RVs

  • RV Parking is allowed in RV Lot 9, the grass lot next to the Chevron on University Boulevard.  The Northington lot is also available as an overflow.  It is located behind Bruno’s Supermarket and adjacent to the University Mall off of McFarland Boulevard.
