Does somebody have the map of where these spots would be?

I was told that they expect rooftop tailgate spots to go very quickly and that if you aren’t in the top 200 or so in priority points then they will likely be gone by the time it’s your turn to pick. It’s a shame because the view of the stadium from the top of that lot is fantastic and will definitely be a great tailgate setup. As someone not in the top 200 I hope I’m wrong and can pick one up.

I've positioned BT to at least have a shot there so that's Plan A for the tailgate. Plan B might be the Green lot. I'm hoping that the people before me choose HOF or Gameday done right folks or maybe use the club seats as tailgate

How have you positioned BT to have a shot at the HOF rooftop parking??

Not sure what you meant about 'using club seats as tailgate' either?? can you explain your thinking on this?

The alumni society released their tailgate plan:

https://alumni.uab.edu/s/1881/alumni19/i...&pgid=1823

Since they did away with dues I was wondering how they'd afford to offer the free tailgates. The answer is it will now cost $250/person for a season pass to their tailgate on The Southern Kitchen's rooftop.

So that is $50 per game, per person, for access to a good location, a meal and two adult beverages, and a couple of buttons and a shaker. Ouch!

I know some folks that have been associate Alumni Society members & the communication to what happens to them hasn’t been good. Does anyone know if that $250/person is available to people that have been paying the associate membership dues. One person talked to two different people with the Alumni Society & got two different answers as to whether they can remain an associate member.

Not HOF parking - Gold parking. Club seats would be like being in the Champions Club where food was provided/catered there & you "tailgate" there instead of actual tailgate. IIRC the club seats at the stadium do get you a private area to get your food. I'm hoping that many ahead of me choose something other than Gold so we have a shot to get in to it for tailgating. Attalla, blazerjay & a couple of others are still having discussions about what our Plan A/B/C options are - so much unknown even from UAB on what tailgating will be like. By giving just a little more than I normally do, it gives us more options on tailgating choices. Gold might not end up being the best, something else may. It'd be nice if UAB had it's act together on actual set ups for the lots & who's got what available so we can pick but alas ...

The in stadium end zone cabana areas are $10,000 per season PLUS the cost of season tickets with a maximum capacity of 24. $10000 + $3000 (24*$125) = $13000/24 = $541.67 per person for the season / 5 games $108.33 per game per person at maximum occupancy. I think we stick to one of the lots.

Going to miss the Alumni Tailgate. Friends who came with me loved that. ?

The bottom most student lot is where my wife’s office building is located. They aren’t moving to a new location now, so that cuts student parking in half. I assume they will have to move that student parking elsewhere? Possibly into areas currently reserved for ticket holders.

If that's the case, they'll move students further away (Boutwell deck?). They aren't going to lose money generated from the closer lots to provide free parking for students. There is a reason they are way over there.

In any case, that bottom lot is BJCC lot 14 and has always been available for big event parking, I parked there every day for the C-USA tournaments, including weekdays. I don't see how it won't be available on nights and Saturday's, regardless of who's business is located next to it.
