A awesome place to watch a football game with over 100000 people in the stadium. The noise level is great and tuff on the team. A must do if you can get a ticket.

Our high school basketball from (GA) came to watch a Bama basketball game and I had to bring the guys by the museum to see some of the history of Alabama football! To begin, all of our coaches were allowed free entrance for bringing a large group in. I believe normal admission price is $1. Our guys really enjoyed seeing the history of Alabama football. They also were giving away some older National Championship car tags as well. Of course our guys had to get some! Every time I’ve been here it seems they are giving something away! If you are a fan of college football in the least bit, you must make this a must see if in town! It is definitely worth your time!

I tried to arrange a tour before our trip, the website was not very helpful so upon calling I discovered by a recording that they have tours only 2 days a week and that they were booked for the whole month! Other reviews stated that the visitors center was worth a visit so we went anyway and as we were there on a tour day, we asked if anybody had failed to show up for their tour. It turned out they had room for the 2 of us on a tour. It was $5 each. A bus took us to the plant from the visitor center and everyone had a head set so we could hear the guide. We were also giving safety glasses. There was a lot of walking but it was so interesting getting to actually walk through the plant while listening to the narrative of our informative guide.You can't take photographs and there is a security guard that also accompanies the tour as there are fork lifts, bicycles and other hazards all around. Tour lasted a little over an hour and there was time for questions on the bus ride back.

Museum dedicated to the famous football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant.

This was the second time I visited the museum and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had updated quite a bit in the short time between visits. While it is called the Paul W. Bryant Museum it actually showcases everything football related from The University of Alabama. There are game balls and trophy’s dating back many, many decades. There is an interactive display for searching stats about players and whole Crimson Tide teams from throughout the years. This attraction is worth the time and an absolute bargain for the price of admission!

Pleasant sidewalk to jog, walk or stroll in evening. Appropriately lighted and clean. Little “monsters” hidden along walk and benches and overlooks. Nice Minerva statue and Tuscaloosa timeline.
