Summary

  • Alabama kept Saturday’s Georgia game on schedule for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff but changed several pregame operations because severe weather and high winds are forecast before kickoff.
  • College GameDay was moved indoors to Coleman Coliseum, with doors opening at 5:30 a.m.; fans may begin lining up at 5:15 a.m., overnight camping is barred, and only clear bags will be allowed.
  • Tailgating and other outdoor activities were curtailed, while campus parking lots and shuttle service will not open until noon Saturday under the university’s revised operations plan.
  • Alabama said fans should monitor official game-day and weather channels as conditions evolve, with forecasters warning of gusty winds, heavy rain and possible severe weather in Tuscaloosa.
