The University of Alabama football team’s annual Fan Day is set for Sunday, Aug. 8. The team will hold an open practice in Bryant-Denny Stadium from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Players and coaches will be available for autographs immediately after the practice on the field.

Fans may enter the stadium beginning at 1:30 p.m. at the northwest spiral (gate 5) and occupy the lower bowl (sections A-N). The open practice is scheduled to last approximately two hours.

At the conclusion of practice, those wishing to participate in Fan Day will enter the field through gate 46 and exit via gate 5. Fans who do not wish to view the practice and would like to start lining up early can do so beginning at 1:30 p.m. Those fans can enter through gate 46.

Following practice, the Crimson Tide football team, coaching staff and head coach Nick Saban will be available for autographs on the field. The gate to the field will be open once the autograph session has been set up. Due to meeting commitments for the team and the coaching staff, the session is limited to 45 minutes. In an effort to facilitate as many autographs in the time allowed, fans will be limited to one item per person for autographs, and no posed photographs will be permitted.

Soft drinks, water and several food items will be available for a special Fan Day price 50 percent off the regular game day prices. Vendors will be walking through the stadium with concessions available and the stands on the west side (field and mezzanine levels) will be open. Alabama merchandise will also be sold on Sunday.

Those attending Fan Day may find campus very congested with traffic and pedestrians, as students participating in early projects will be moving in to the residence halls on Sunday. Many of those moving in are expected to have accompanying family members, further congesting traffic.

There will be more parking available at the perimeter campus lots. Other locations may include the ten Hoor Decks, ten Hoor surface lots, soccer lot and Moody Music lot. No special accommodations will be made for recreational vehicles (RVs) on campus. All RVs should park at the Northington Lot near University Mall. Fans should logon to rolltide.com for updates and other pertinent information.

In the event of inclement weather, the autograph session will be moved to the indoor practice facility and fans would enter through the double gate next to the Mal Moore Athletic Facility.
