The Million Dollar Band is tuning up, the cheerleaders have practiced their stunts, Big Al is picking out his best jersey and the Crimson Tide has its game plan in place. It’s game day at the University of Alabama.

Here is what fans need to know for the 2022 home football season.

Prepare to make the most of the game day experience by reviewing the football game day information on RollTide.com, downloading the UA Gameday App and following UA Gameday on Twitter.

On the way to campus, tune the radio to 92.5 FM UA Info Radio. In addition to traffic, parking and weather information, fans will learn about UA traditions, former players and coaches, and game day events, and hear favorite stadium tunes from the Million Dollar Band. You can stream the station through the UA Safety app.

Visit the Paul W. Bryant Museum from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on game days to relive the pageantry of past football seasons. Visit the museum’s Facebook page to see when former players will be signing autographs before each home game. Admission to the museum is free for UA faculty, staff and students.

The Coca-Cola Kick-off Zone between Reese-Phifer Hall and the Walk of Champions will open four hours before kickoff for all home games. It will include activities for children, corporate displays and food vendors.

Before all home SEC games, the Crimson Tide Sports Network Fan Zone behind the Tuska statue will include the pregame radio show, interactive displays, former player appearances and autographs.

Fans can tailgate for free on the west side of the Quad and reservations are not required. Check the tailgating section of the UA Gameday website for the times you can drop off your supplies and for a list of tailgating rules.

Several food trucks will be around the Quad this season for fans to enjoy. The kids can have fun playing on inflatables at the southeast corner of the Quad.

Two hours prior to kickoff, gather at the Walk of Champions on the north end of Bryant-Denny Stadium to welcome team members as they walk from the buses to the locker room.

One hour before kickoff, join the Million Dollar Band on the steps of the Gorgas Library for the Elephant Stomp to Bryant-Denny Stadium.

On game day, visit the Supe Store at the University of Alabama Student Center, the Corner Store or the Town Center location for Bama apparel and game day souvenirs.

The Authentic retail shop will open later this season inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. The one-of-a-kind shop powered by Fanatics will feature an assortment of officially licensed team apparel and student-athlete merchandise, memorabilia used during previous games and digital trading cards from Topps.

Alabama Athletics has transitioned to mobile-only ticketing for all athletic venues.

Students will use their ACT cards to get into games for which they have tickets. Be sure to check the ticket balance and upper or lower bowl assignment prior to game day by logging in to myBama or using UA’s mobile app. Learn more about student tickets on the My Tickets website.

For faculty, staff and other fans, football tickets should be downloaded to an Apple Wallet or Google Pay Wallet prior to reaching the gate at the stadium. Those who do not have a smartphone should contact the Ticket Office before game day at 205-348-2262 or [email protected] .

The clear-bag policy will be enforced this season. Bags must be made of clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and cannot exceed 12-by-6-by-12 inches. Small clutch purses no larger than 4 1/2-by-6 1/2-inches are also permissible.

Fans will be required to walk through metal detectors before entering Bryant-Denny Stadium.

While outside food and beverages are not allowed, fans may bring empty, nonglass bottles and cups that they can fill for free at Water Monsters, large tanks filled with cold, filtered water, throughout the stadium. A list of prohibited items can be found on RollTide.com.

This year, all sales at concessions and retail shops at Alabama athletics events will be cashless. Guests with cash will have the ability to exchange their cash for a Fancard, which is a preloaded Mastercard. Fancards can be used at stadium concessions or anywhere Mastercard is accepted.
