PARKING FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
Due to safety precautions, there will no longer be parking for people with disabilities on the east drive closest to Coleman Coliseum. The east drive will now serve as a transit lane only for the Crimson Ride buses. Parking for people with disabilities can be found in the following locations:
- Lot A
- Designated spaces on the north side of Coleman Coliseum
- Designated spaces adjacent to the Sewell-Thomas Stadium outfield fence
If you need an additional space for wheelchair accessibility, ask the parking attendant.

- Lot A Parking and Disability Parking have combined in the lot to create a larger area for both sets of permit holders.
- Disability drop-off is on the east side of the Coliseum near the elevator. You may experience some traffic post-game for pick-up, but that is due to the bus pick-up on the east drive.
- RESERVED PARKING
- Remember, Coleman Coliseum and surrounding areas such as Coliseum Drive and the Bryant Drive parking lot are reserved for permit holders only. Click here to view a list of the parking permits allowed.
- CRIMSON RIDE
- The Soccer lot located off of University Boulevard is available for Coleman Coliseum athletic event parking. For your convenience, starting one hour before tip-off, the Crimson Ride transit system will run a direct route that will transport fans from the Soccer Lot to the east side of Coleman Coliseum. After the game, the buses will pick up on the east side of the coliseum near the steps. This service is FREE of charge for all fans. We encourage you to ride the Crimson Ride to Coleman Coliseum; however, if you decide to walk from the Soccer lot, please remember to use the designated sidewalks and crosswalks. There is a designated pedestrian pathway that will lead you safely to and from the intersection of Paul W. Bryant Drive and 2nd Avenue to Coleman Coliseum. The designated pedestrian pathway from 2nd Avenue will lead to a sidewalk and crosswalk that will allow you to cross safely to Coleman Coliseum. There will also be directional signs and attendants to assist you.
- PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
- For evening athletic events, additional light sources will be added in the Coleman Coliseum parking lot to enhance pedestrian safety, particularly the area adjacent to Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
- Several attendants will be at each event to direct pedestrian traffic across Bryant Drive to and from the Coliseum, as well as within designated areas in the Coleman Coliseum parking lot.
- Please remember there is no parking on sidewalks or yellow curbs in and around the University campus during athletic events.
