For anyone thinking of making a trip to Birmingham, I would recommend NOT coming:
1) All the parking lots they advertise as “available” right next to the stadium are actually “reserved” when you get there. 15 more minutes of driving and you can find a spot on the street in the ‘hood north if the stadium. Birmingham built the stadium with zero parking and it was a nightmare for UAB games and the Birmingham Bowl. Even with a sparsely attended USFL game, it’s no better.
2) Bought tickets at the window ($12 each, vs. $18.50 each with the fees from TicketMaster!). Idiot lady gave me tickets for the game NEXT WEEK. Ticket taker sends me back over to ticket window to swap. Finally in after standing in three lines.
3) 300-lb’er at Customer Service can’t even get off her phone to answer a question.
In short, this is done about as well as you’d expect a city like Birmingham to do something. Which is not well at all!

Dude, I've been to two games there and had no issues. I was in Birmingham and went to the UAB's first game in the stadium. I literally parked two blocks away for free on the street. I also was in town for the Birmingham Bowl and parked at a church about two blocks away for $20. Yes, black people live a few blocks north of the stadium, but they won't eat you.
