Alabama modifies game-day plans ahead of Georgia game due to expected weather conditions

Key Points:

• The University of Alabama is adjusting game-day operations for Saturday’s football game against Georgia due to severe weather forecasts, including strong winds, heavy rain, and possible tornadoes in Central Alabama.
• Tailgating will be restricted, with no tailgating allowed on campus before noon Saturday and only personal tailgating permitted afterward in uncovered areas if weather permits; corporate tailgating vendors will not set up on the Quad.
• Parking lots and shuttle services will open at noon Saturday, with fans advised not to arrive earlier; shuttle operations may be delayed by sustained winds, and off-campus parking users should check for schedule changes.
• Several pre-game events, including activities on the Quad, Champions Lane events, and the Rising Tide 2.0 announcement, have been canceled, while ESPN’s College GameDay will move indoors to Coleman Coliseum with no overnight camping allowed.
• University officials urge fans to monitor official channels for ongoing updates on weather and game-day operations to ensure safety amid evolving storm conditions.
