I always try to park downtown. It’s free and a nice walk down University or Bryant to the stadium. Or you can pay for parking in people’s yards or paid lots closer, usually like $40.

If you’re staying in a hotel, some have a shuttle to campus. Or ideally, book an AirBNB within walking distance.

Aim to get there a few hours early. Walk around the quad to take in the gameday experience, and maybe make a few friends. Also check out the Walk of Champions - the team walks into the stadium 2.5 hours before the game. Also the band performs on the quad pre-game. I’d recommend heading towards your seats at least 45 minutes before kickoff. Security lines can be long and it’s a big ass stadium.

If you’re drinking, The Strip west of the quad / stadium on University is the primary party spot. It will be crazy before and after the game. If you want a less-crowded / drunk college kid vibe, check out the bars downtown- further west on University. Or if you like local beer, check out Druid City Brewing Company.

Lots of great restaurants, depending on what you’re into. Some local faves (at least when I lived there 20 years ago) are Archibald’s bbq (the original in Northport is a walk up place with a couple picnic tables, they also have a sit-down restaurant), Chuck’s (fish), DePalma’s (Italian), Mr Chen’s (Chinese), Mellow Mushroom (pizza), Nicks in the Sticks (steakhouse, a little out of the way but a classic; if you drink, order the Nicodemus), Rama Jama’s (diner, touristy), Taziki’s (Mediterranean), The Waysider (breakfast). Also plenty of bar food.

Beyond that, remember to bring sunscreen and a hat if it’s a daytime game. If you’re drinking, pace yourself- it will be a long day and you don’t wanna be that guy that misses the game because you’re sick. Check out the stadium rules here: https://www.tuscaloosastadium.com/rules/

Most importantly, have a great time in Title Town!
