Street Closings for 2009
The same sections of University Boulevard, Bryant Drive and a few other streets in the core of campus will close on gameday like last year. Also, 7th Avenue (from Capstone Drive to Campus Drive West) and Marr’s Spring Road close three hours prior to kick-off. Again, these two roads will be closed to enhance pedestrian safety in those areas of campus on gameday. Also, Bryant Drive (from 7th Avenue to 10th Avenue) closes three hours prior to kickoff instead of two hours prior.

South Endzone Stadium Construction
Throughout the 2009 football season, the south endzone stadium construction will play a role in Bryant-Denny Stadium entrance/exit patterns. Please arrive early and note the signage directing fans in the construction area. A map of the south endzone foot traffic pattern can be seen here .

There will be only one student entrance to Bryant-Denny Stadium (gate 29). Lines will be long due to construction, so please arrive 60 to 90 minutes before game time. Bringing prohibited items into the stadium will increase the amount of time it takes to enter. Parking and driving will be restricted on Colonial Drive and Wallace Wade on Fridays and Saturdays before and until three hours after the end of home games. Crimson Ride bus service and 348-Ride will be available.
