The University of Alabama has set its annual football Fan Day for Sunday at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The defending national champion Crimson Tide will hold a two-hour open practice starting at 2:30, with players and coaches available for autographs immediately afterward at approximately 4:45 p.m.
The autograph session with head coach Nick Saban, assistant coaches and players will last for 45 minutes. The gate to the field will open once the autograph session has been set up. Fans will be limited to one item per person for autographs and no posed photographs will be permitted.
Fans can enter the stadium beginning at 1:30 p.m. at gates 12, 16 and 45 and occupy seats in the lower bowl in sections A-N and AA-NN. At 1 p.m., the first 150 attendees at gate 45 will receive numbered, color-coded wristbands for early entrance to the autograph session. Fans receiving wristbands will need to be at gate 25 (south field entrance) at 4 p.m. to line up for entry to the autograph session.
Three thousand posters will be given away in the stadium. Concessions vendors will be walking through the stadium and concession stands on the west side field and mezzanine levels will be open.
All items are subject to security inspection as fans enter for both the practice and autograph session.
Parking will be available at the West ten Hoor area of campus, which includes two parking decks as well as surface lots. Parking for persons with disabilities is available on a first-come, first-served basis in the Communications lot and Wallace Wade lots. No special accommodations will be made for recreational vehicles on campus: All RVs should park at the Northington lot near University Mall.

The Fan Day autograph session will be moved to Coleman Coliseum in the event of inclement weather.
