Travel question for Bama fans

If you leave early in the morning it won't take but an hour at the most.

How early - obviously for a 2:30 game?

It depends on your route. Do not take I-459 south to I-59. There is a terrible bottleneck at the junction where they meet. If possible, get on I-59 somewhere on the north side of Birmingham and take that to Tuscaloosa. I can give you a back route off of I-59 that will save you lots of traffic, and bring you into Tuscaloosa on Bryant Drive just west of the stadium.
