Park by the Finley Center. Drive past the main entrance (put Brocks Gap brewery in your GPS) and come round the back way to Finley.

You’ll see all the RVs and there’s good LSU tailgating around Finley, where you can also pop in to cool off, use the bathroom, etc.

Buy your tickets online before the game.

Arrive early. Yesterday was as crowded as I’ve seen it in a long time, especially when Alabama or Auburn are not in it. Tennessee brought a lot of people.

Like the previous poster said park over near the Finley Center or ball fields. Not a bad walk and easy to get out.

Be prepared for long lines at the concessions areas.

Lots of great places to eat in the Hoover area but only a couple within walking distance of the stadium.

Tennessee brought a good crowd. Expect this game to be packed. Won’t be able to sit anywhere you want today

Unimpressed with Bama’s campus…

Although likely a different feel in the Fall…

There isn’t much between the two. Best bet is to continue through and get something when you’re in Hoover.

You can try Cajun Steamers. Not bad. Jubilee Joes used to be good. Enjoy. I liked the pulled pork nachos at the park.
