Been there for basketball games. Lot of on campus parking is available. And I suspect Bama has the highest fan per car count in football. That includes the massive number of RVs that fans drive to stadium.

RE: Time to expand Tiger Lane?
I do not favor immediate expansion of Tiger Lane. Scarcity, ironically, can sometimes drive more demand and create a sense of privilege.

that jet procession started at 9 and kept going until we went into the stadium.

RE: Time to expand Tiger Lane?
Bama's situation is true at many major programs - it's indicative of most SEC stadiums I've ever been to. That's why I shake my heads when people complain about parking and traffic at Memphis. Those folks don't get out much. Also the anti-OCS folks who say there's no room, should look at other campuses.
