Parking and tailgating at Jordan-Hare Stadium
Tailgating
Checked at the source
Game-day lots open at 8 AM for every home game, so a night kickoff gives you a full day of tailgating. The traditional tailgating areas on the north side of the stadium, including parts of the North Lawn, are cut back during Jordan-Hare North construction, which runs through spring 2029. Set up elsewhere on campus. On-campus RV parking is new for 2026 and must be bought in advance at RevelXP.com or (334) 209-1259. RVs park in the Hayfields on South Donahue Drive and Samford Avenue, enter Friday from 3 PM and leave by 4 PM Sunday. The Coca-Cola Fan Fest and Home Plate Tailgate open before Tiger Walk, and food trucks now park across campus and around the tailgate areas. Tiger Walk Plaza, near the Frank Thomas statue and the Plainsman Park entrance, has live music, a video board and the Tiger Tailgate Show in the hours before the team arrives.
Game day at Jordan-Hare Stadium
One thing to avoid
From a specialist guide
Don't plan to park or tailgate on the north side of the stadium. The north end zone lot is closed and the North Lawn is cut back while the Jordan-Hare North project is built, and Heisman Drive no longer carries foot traffic past the north end.
