Hello Bama fans. My daughter is having a gymnastics meet (Crimson Classic) in Tuscaloosa on the weekend of the 25th. I'm attending the Alabama vs Arkansas gymnastics meet on that Friday with my family.

My son and I are avid Memphis Tiger fans and we both love college and NBA basketball in general. I thought it might be a good idea to attend an Alabama basketball game while we are there. I've watched a little Bama basketball in the past when Ernest Shelton played. I follow most Memphis kids from high school to as far as they go.

Anyway I want to get 4 tickets for my family for that Saturday. My questions are:
1. Where is the best place to get the cheapest tickets?
2. Are basketball tickets hard to come by?
3. Are there any suggestions for parking? ie.. unsafe spots, do i need to get there early, etc....
4. If I want good food at a reasonable price, where should I go while we are in town?
Thanks.
